So who cares if they became bum boyz to micoshaft bidding? - its more market
share for others!
E.g. go buy Ausus EEE PCs!!
Asus have no problem supporting Linux or selling Linux PCs.
They are shipping 1 million+ units a month.
At least 12 other companies selling similar laptops
with Linux as the pre-loaded OS.
