| laptops flooded the market and undermined Microsoft's influence, and 3D
| desktop effects continued to improve

Dude, you don't have to get a Dell
,----[ Quote ]
| Note: Many vendors still consider Linux an enterprise-only OS, and
| deliberately avoid selling it directly to end users. So don't expect to find
| Linux on the list of config options in the online ordering system. In many
| cases, you'll have to call up the vendor and place your order over the phone,
| usually through their corporate sales number. You may even want to avoid
| telling them that the system is for personal use.
