| In the UK, HP offers the Mini Note 2133 with the choice of Linux, in the form
| of Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.1, or Windows Vista Business. Both
| the SKUs have the same core specification, but the Windows Vista version adds
| a 6-cell battery and makes up for Microsoft's licensing costs with a £50
| price hike.

| Chew on that last one for a bit. Way back in 2002/2003, Sun might have been
| in the Linux business, while Novell might have kept fiddling with NetWare
| (but more likely would have gone actively into the open-source applications
| realm, following on its acquisition of Ximian). We would have been living in
| a very different open-source industry if things had gone Sun's way back then.
