Story: Microsoft to Linux: 'Bring it on'

Smithy, somehow I don't think Jeremy Allison of the Samba team at HP will have much to do with the hardware division of HP, therefore if he gets a new laptop, he may go through different channels but he'll end up with the same product as the rest of us.

The issue here is it's extremely difficult to buy a PC *without* Windows on. If what you want is a Linux machine, then you've paid (an already supremely rich) Microsoft a large amount of money for a licence you're not going to use. If this seems ok to you, why don't you just send me £50 now? I need it more than they do.

As for comparisons between Windows and Linux, I haven't used the latter enough to make a decision. What I can see is that the number of Linux lovers appears to be equal to the number of users, and the number of Windows lovers appears to be limited to Microsoft and you. I think that speaks volumes.
