HP offers Linux support. WHY? They won't sell Linux preloaded products
This means little to most of us. Claimed support for a product that you don't provide is at best only a marketing tactic. They don't sell to individuals without requiring Microsoft products be installed and paid for. They refused to provide peripherals that are controller based and include their own processor such as a real modem, or NIC with certification of functionality.

Class this as MARKETING HYPE.
