Finally an OEM sees the light. This is what Linux is about
Customization is the one killer app that Linux has over all other OS alternatives. With Linux you can make your own OS just as HP has here. You cannot do that to Windows or Mac, they would sue you.

Hopefully HP is successful with this custom Ubuntu and more OEM's catch on.
