That's one of your worst agruments ever.
TripleII | 06/18/08

Your complaint lies with those vendors.
ye | 06/18/08

Yes, my complaint is with Vendors.
TripleII | 06/18/08

So why treat Apple different?
NonZealot | 06/18/08

Exactly right
NonZealot | 06/18/08

NonZ, I am not talking about Ubuntu.
TripleII | 06/18/08

@TripleII: OS less versus Linux. Is the distinction that important?
ye | 06/18/08
|
|
Fair enough
NonZealot | 06/18/08
|
|
@ye: the distinction is important
NonZealot | 06/18/08
|
|
@NonZealot: Those are essentially fixed costs.

@ye: fixed costs
NonZealot | 06/18/08

@NonZealot: I am assuming Linux is being offered despite...
