Google's Chrome OS Ventures Into Windows' Turf

| At this point, though, that's a big if. "I

| against Microsoft to gain a more favorable
| OEM contract rather than gearing up to sell
| a small number of systems to the Microsoft
| haters of the world," said Piland.

Dell backs down on Linux praise
,----[ Quote ]
| What is interesting however is that Dell did
| not kill off the fatal phrase.
|
| It seems that Dell remains committed to
| Ubuntu Linux on its laptops and netbooks and
| will not allow itself to be bullied too
| much.
|
| Perhaps Dell sees life in Android, Chrome
| and Linux after all.

HP Treating Gnu/Linux Users Unfairly?
,----[ Quote ]
| It is unfortunate that HP doesn't offer
| Gnu/Linux on these machines. The way HP offers
| 'options' to choose the desired processors and
| other hardware, it would be a fair business
| practice to offer choice of operating system
| as well for those enterprise customers who
| want to run their own OS but don't want to pay
| Microsoft tax.
