The only question is why would they do that? Steve Jobs is a marketing expert, he tweaks all his products in a way to keep 'his own' cash registers ringing. Putting linux on his macbook would mean accepting the truth that mac sucks and more importantly linux would not add any extra zing to his cash registers, instead a free OS would mean people won't 'buy' apps from 'him'. These are enough reasons for him to not make this 'mistake'. Thats why I call him a bigger devil than Bill Gates. :-) ------- Original message ------- From: Linux Lingam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: 23.6.'08, 2:21 -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
