That is what it is all about. Look at what MS has been doing for the last 4 to 5 years. MS was sue before for doing this, but won the court in the US but lost over seas. Only this time I think MS has gone to far and I think the courts will think so to. I hope this puts the brakes on MS power. I hope they get broken up or goes bankrupt. Now that would be funny. david On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 12:28 AM, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > > > > > --- In [email protected], "G.LinuxDucks" <g.linuxducks@...> > wrote: > > > > Then there is also the home computers for sale with Linux preloaded too, > > which should remain an option.
