Mark of the Microsoft Beast
,----[ Quote ]
| If you've looked for a Linux laptop lately on any of the major OEM Web
| sites, you've seen it: the mark of the beast. The phrasing goes
| "Dell|Lenovo|HP|Acer recommends Windows XP Professional." What it
| means is that by virtue of a Microsoft marketing agreement, the OEM
| can make more money in the US by not pre-loading Linux than it could
| if it did. Things are different elsewhere.
