This would be a good move for Palm!
Remember - the customer is ALWAYS right. You may have a low opinion of Windows, but the fact is that a lot of people like the Windows OS AND a lot of people with money are willing to pay a premium for it. So vendors need to SERVE their customers. One way that hardware companies can serve their customers well is by doing their best to make sure that they offer a range of software options. A lot of posters are just doing their knee jerk stuff and taking the opportunity to bash MS. But thats just very shortsighted. Hardware vendors need all the sales they can get in todays competitive market. Palm should offer Windows as an option on their devices. It would generate not only increased sales, but also plenty of goodwill. Consumers should have access to all the major OS's and that includes Microsoft Windows.
