Mr. Dietrich.

I have just received word of your new policy of only carrying Personal Computer products which carry Microsoft Corporation's "Designed for Windows XP" logo. Thought I would let you know that as a consequence I will no longer patronize your stores, which is a shame since I have always preferred Office Depot over Staples.

Even though I purchase few computer specific items at Office Depot, I will not support companies which engage in (anti-)competitive warfare against the platforms which I and my clients use (Apple Mac OS X and Red Hat Linux).

I will also inform my clients and friends of your policy and recommend that they also avoid shopping at Office Depot.

I'm no lawyer of course, but for the sake of your stockholders, I do hope you'll be able to make a strong case for your position with US and EU antitrust enforcement agencies.

Sincerely,

Jim White
Laguna Hills, CA
