Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 7 and 8 users are starting to disable Windows Update entirely. Yikes.

Well, Google Chromebooks come close as they have Coreboot. They are also not  
locked down that much; they can be unlocked and re-flashed with upstream  
Coreboot and most support GNU/Linux reasonably well. You're also not paying  
the Windows tax which is something I suppose. Yet it hasn't led to a  
revolution of computing in freedom.
Canonical have not made in-roads selling Ubuntu-powered laptops. Perhaps they  
should partner with stores like Best Buy in the USA to promote and sell  
GNU/Linux-powered laptop and desktop computers. Who knows what might happen?  
I think they may have already tried though, and maybe the cruelties of the  
market prevented it happening.
