Man if this were the case, MS would be Shi**ing themselves. The ONE thing they do NOT want us to have is a choice.

Maybe one day....

It shows our situation that we should be happy about a latop that does no come with Windows instead of being unhappy that it does not come with GNU/Linux. We have a long way before us. . .


No I believe a level playing field and choice is the answer. People
should have the choice. As in:

"Here this laptop is $1500.00 - now you can have Windows XP Home for
$300.00 or SuSE Linux 9.3 in a box for $180.00. Alternatively you can
have these dvd/cd's of it we legally copied but you don't get the book
or any support. We will install either and all the updates for $50.00.
Also you can see your local LUG and get SuSE or any other version of
linux for the cost of the blank DVD/CD's, or you can download for
nothing on your existing computer. If you are adventurous you can try
one of the BSD's"
