> If you don't like them, or what they do vote with your checkbook. Nobody >is forcing you to but their products. This is incorrect. Almost all laptops and most desktop computer systems being sold today have dos/windows pre-installed, wheather you like it or not. You have to go out of your way to buy a computer without windows on it. I managed to do this by building my own computer, but I was forced to have a chip with the !@#$ windows logo on it because I saved money and bought an AMD instead of an Intel chip. With AMD concentrating on optimizing their new chips for windows, amoung other things, Linux users are paying for fluff that is totally unnnecessary in Linux, becuase of the existance of Windows. People will soon start having to buy computers with keyboards that have the stupid windows logos on them-- that'll make them feel pretty strange running a non-windows system, to sat the least. Microsoft is becoming more and more of a monopoly. -- Copyright 1995 Sam Trenholme. Microsoft Network is prohibited from redistributing this work in any form, in whole or in part.
