Re: Lenovo and Dell sneak Linux on to new PCs

Excellent news. I am wondering what the M$ markup is, for vista it may be significant. Anyway, thats what MS get for being greedy. Once some customers get Linux preinstalled, and many of those will be 'cheap' students, next thing u know there will be a school subject on openoffice and ubuntu, and nobody sure what MSoffice is for.

Re: Lenovo and Dell sneak Linux on to new PCs

I thought I had heard of the Dell announcement months ago, although this is the first I've read of it finally rolling out something with Linux. Has to beat Vista!

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.
