you can't really do that, linux is GPL, there isn't much protection from microshaft from knicking suggestions off it..
so if you release a "must have" app, M$ would just copy it with there own code.. Still, its a fantastic idea... I'd love to see it happen too.. As for the OS choice at the dealer, I agree, it'd be cool to be able to not get windows as a default.. thats one of the reasons I always get my PC's in parts, so I don't have to get the OEM winblows... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of jipe Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2001 3:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] problem with linux Le Mardi 27 Novembre 2001 08:55, vous avez �crit : > The problem with linux is the linux community is always creating products > to catch up with windows.
