Average Cubans allowed to buy PCs

My bet is Cuba will buy some nice filtering and blocking software from that other bastion of freedom - China.

You know, this could be an interesting situation from an OS choice perspective. I wonder if Cuban PCs will be powered by Windows, Linux or if they'll be Macs. Without Microsoft's entrenched monopoly in the local market, I wonder what will play out.
