| I think that your own words say why they are not being sold as Linux machines.
How many should they configure with Slackware, or Red Hat, or SuSE, or Debian or
Ubuntu (or 200 more)? And how should they partition them? Seperate /home as I
always do? How big? Any other partitions? Etc..... A bare machine is basically
better than a pre-configured Linux machine, because you can do it your way, so
it makes much more sense in my opinion. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Parent poster can't really be held responsible for your expectations. After all,
it was just a link.
You're sort of in the wrong on this, mate.
Deep breath. Move on.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not that long ago, I had the feeling buying without Windows
was not that simple. Surely buying at a good price. The big
deal offered by the supermarket next door would probably not
be possible without the OS.
I heard of actions in France and Italia to force Microsoft
or the OEM to pay back (some amount for) the OS based on a
legal rules within the EU.
The lack of chose for the consumer was seen as one of the
pillars for the home computer monopoly. There is somewhere
an extensive buying list on the internet.
But more recently, I also found enough good offers on the
internet. But only for the motivated, not that you can opt
out or send back the OS if you don't like it after a few
weeks of use.
Would be interesting to know if people still have
problems to find OS-free hardware. And if times are not
coming back with safe boot, MS may not have given up.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
