Waiting for Dell
,----[ Quote ]
| The major desktop players keep flirting with the Linux community,
| but then they never go all the way. Take, for instance, Lenovo.
| Last summer, Lenovo agreed to preload Novell Inc.'s SLED 10 (SUSE
| Linux Enterprise Desktop) on its ThinkPad T60p mobile workstation.
|
| Then, Lenovo started retreating, and hemming that they really didn't
| mean that they would offer it pre-installed. No, no, it's just that
| you could install SLED on the T60p if you really wanted to. Today,
| if you look at the T60p listing, you'll find your only operating
| system choices are Microsoft's Windows Vista Business and XP
| Professional.

The mafia-like contracts and explicit threats must be playing a role.
