Misleading article, they're not backing the GI on an outright ban on bundli
georgeou | 09/28/07

So why stop there? Add CPU's and memory to the list, too
John Zern | 09/30/07

I'm not sure if it's fair to require a Linux option
georgeou | 09/28/07
|
|
And whose version of Linux should they support
John Zern | 09/28/07
|
|
I agree, but zero OS should be an option
georgeou | 09/28/07

Funny about that
rhomp2002@... | 10/01/07

Very reasonable

Installing an OS is a daunting task for many ...
George Mitchell | 09/29/07

So you would put a gun to a hardware maker's head to support Linux?
