Many people (even myself) would be willing to pay a lot of a Power Linux Box
with plenty of preloaded software that costs nothing to add and preconfigure
(not craplets). Other OEM's follow Dell's footsteps. They share the same pain.
Just look at Lenovo. IBM sold that business of theirs because it wasn't
profitable. It was Windows-dependent with paper-thin margins.
