| You can't advertise Linux because Microsoft has threatened you with 
| exorbitant licensing fees and other sanctions if you do. That would be my 
| guess. In fact, If I were to guess further, I would hazard a guess that those 
| top-secret vendor agreements Microsoft demanded you sign actually states that 
| you cannot actively advertise or promote Linux. I could be wrong...but if I 
| am I'm not far off.

The biggest Blue Screen of Death ever

,----[ Quote ]
| Why? Because, according to the Morning Herald, both the Beijing Olympics
| committee and Lenovo, a major backer of the games, had deliberately chosen to
| run XP operating system on the games' PC because they didn't trust Vista.
| Turns out they shouldn't have trusted XP either, but they should have known
| that. Best of all, Lenovo chairman, Yang Yuanqing, said Lenovo had chosen not
| to use Vista because, "If it's not stable, it could have some problems."
|
| So, next time you go to an online PC sales Web site and you see that line
| about "We recommend Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium," just remember:
| They're lying.
