Title: Dell to deliver Linux preinstalled on the desktop Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 29, 2007, 07:32:31 AM http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6506027.stm

Some of you are too young but I distinctly remember old timers laughing off Microsoft as harmless. The circle of life.

Should be worth more really even though costs would be less. Guess it depends on the bundle.

LOL The news story in that link shows a picture of Larry Ellison, who'd give up his first-born to be Bill Gates.
