Probably. The page on the FSFE Wiki was maintained as an attempt to provide updated vendor information, though, whereas the FSF seem to maintain a hardware database and some kind of list of recommendations. http://wiki.fsfe.org/Activities/Hardware/Hardware_Vendors Maintaining vendor lists is fairly tiresome, though, because the Web sites tend to change and products get retired without a trace. Also, it isn't clear whether people get much use out of the above page. Since the usability has been somewhat impaired by the removal of the table-sorting (and "nicer on the eyes" editing) functionality since the wiki was migrated, it is now probably almost as much of a chore to investigate the listed vendors as it is to maintain the list. In any case, it is possibly better to focus on vendors that offer products to a higher standard than merely not foisting Windows on people when they buy something, although vendors that do allow people to "build" their own computer are useful to know about.
