Fact: There are over 200 vendors of computers who offer GNU/Linux
pre-installed, and who are very competitive in the various priced system
levels. http://www.linux.org/vendor/#system
In fact, when compared to a Dell system that has Microsoft OS, plus
other offerings, that are mostly 'trial versions',
as have at least a dozen reviewers in the press in the past several
months, it costs an additional $950 to activate all the proper malware
and virus protection schemes, plus, the Microsoft Office and Photoshop
products, that are not even necessary in a GNU/Linux environment, or are
included FREE!
Dell markets one system at many prices, with 'discounts' that fade or
shift, from one day to the next. Their confusing offers drive the
prices up. Consumers get the shaft from Dell, and now, with 'service'
in Bangalore, folks reading the 'monkey script', customers are dazed,
confused, lost.
But, most importantly, Michael Dell is not really comprehending the
power of the FREE GNU/Linux forums for friendly help that already is a
powerful infrastructure along with Linux Users Groups worldwide!
The troubleshooting sequence is concrete in GNU/Linux, and the other
'Nix OS clones, because they are stable and the source code is visible
to all.
Running upto 50X faster in processes, while concurrent multi-processing
upto 4000 open windows, in 20 desktop environments, on my old Pentium
class systems, and my old Macs, GNU/Linux just out-performs ANYTHING the
multiple convicted Felon Pirate Monopolist Thief Microsoft has ever put out.
Right now, more hardware works in GNU/Linux, than can run in that
bloated crapware VISTA! Without the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions"!
Go to the google.com search for the shootouts between Microsoft and
anything else, and see what a loser the multiple convicted felon
Microsoft really is!
