I beg to differ. Dell appear to be moving in the same direction albeit
rather slowly. Perhaps their ties and obligations to their "software
department" are rather tight, still. Anyway, here is my take on why Dell
will be the next supporters of Linux if Jobs continues with his silly
refusals < http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2005/09/10/hp-linux/ >. I
actually posted this only an hour ago and included some recent links from
Slashdot.
