At least someone is thinking of it.  There are a lot of PCs out there
that are still in perfect working order, but are too slow to run the
hugely bloated desktop operating systems (and the "server" versions
thereof) that are popular today.  Efficient operating systems like UNIX
can give these machines new life and purpose and save tremendous
resources in the process.

Indeed, someone in the Third World without the means to buy a new PC and
an expensive Windows license could find a junk PC and install FreeBSD on
it for nothing, and be up and running in no time.  While UNIX doesn't
have the advantages of Windows on the desktop, you can't beat the price,
and it'll run on anything.
