The customers are all dumping an exclusive relationship with Microsoft Windows.
The customers are OEMs, not end users who are forced to accept what's
available on the shelf. Microsoft's fight for the OEMs can be seen in its full
aggressive 'glory' in antitrust memos. They use/d illegal tactics to exclude
and discriminate against competing O/Ses.
When OEMs (sellers and Microsoft customers) stock Linux, so will their clients.
It might take a while, but it's a domino effect.
H-P, by the way, will soon be joining. It is inevitable. As for Acer, they sell
Linux in part of Europe, Asia, and the United States. Like Dell, this will
grow and expand gradually (geographically, and also to other models).
>> Lenovo and HP/Compaq are tossing their hats into the ring! All can see
>> the demand has peaked and now is their chance to offer systems for $200
>> LESS, to meet Dell's prices, with FREE GNU/Linux pre-installed!

>> Can't beat Dell, might as well stay on the porch, little dog!
>>
>> Microsoft: All your base are ours!
