I agree with that interpertation, but I disgree with the judgment.
If you can crush your competition then you should (unless you want to
develop better competitors). In Brazil they are much more cozy.
Companies don't crush one another. A lot of people consider it to be
a friendly club. It's a wonderful country if you are a member of the
club.
But, I have been thinking about opening a store that just sold
compute with linux on them. I have no motive other than to make money
and do something I like. I know there is the Cobalt Qube people.
But I bet a local store where you can walk in with your computer must
win over some store in CA. But then again I never buy computer stuff
from any local stores other than perhaps Best Buy or a guy I met at
an auction who sells new/used computers.
What about a store that sold computers with Linux as the only O/S?
Anyone know of people doing this?
