Who Is Marketing Linux?

| They pump and pump and pump and pump and pump (you get the idea)
| money into marketing their inferior products -- whether they be
| operating systems, orbloated office productivity suites, or game
| consoles, or anything else they want to succeed. They convince
| OEM manufacturers to put little stickers on all thePCs they build
| that include little logos to prove that they are Windows compatible or
| "built for Windows." They convince those same OEMs plus OEMs of other
| peripheral devices to include words like "We recommend Windows
| XP" in alltheir ads. With Vista coming out -- not even out yet --
| they are already convincing OEMs to include stickers that say
| "Vista Ready."
|
| Do you see any "Linux 2.6.x Ready" stickers coming out anytime
| soon? Or "Ubuntu 7 Ready"? No, and do you see any Linux
| distributors forcing OEMs to bundle Linux regardless of
| whether the customers want it?
