Given that your current sales might get affected if we "force" people to use whichever OS is bundled with the computer, do you think the powers-that-be in yours and other Linux PC selling organizations would support us in this venture?
The powers-that-be include me, to a very large extent :-)
No, we are not forcing anyone. We sell PCs with Linux, and we sell them with MS Windows. We are not a "Linux evangelist", in a corporate sense; we do not have "exclusive" tie-ups with MS, and we do not "recommend Win XP" on web pages advertising the Linux PCs.
Personally, as my headers will show, I am using Win XP. Raj is not. C'est vie.
However, when a user calls up a dealer about an XP issue, the dealer can help. When the call is about a Debian issue, the dealer cannot. This is not because the dealer does not want to, he just can not. We provide second level support for the dealers.
I am trying to setup a support line for these users, without throwing them on the mailing lists, which might be swamped.
