What Dell's desktop Linux move means
,----[ Quote ]
| Some of you may be thinking, "Why is this such a big deal?" Linspire
| has been successful in getting smaller OEMs (original equipment
| manufacturers) to offer Linux on the desktop for years. Some small
| OEMs, such as All Around Geeks and System76, offer their own
| house-brand Linux desktops. Other companies, such as EmperorLinux,
| have long sold brand-name computers from Lenovo, Panasonic, Sharp,
| and even Dell after they installed Linux on them.

| an overall backlash against Vista, observed IDC analyst Richard Shim.
