And you're a boob that unnecessarily uses the FollowUp-To header. Just how are you going to guarantee that the purchaser of a motherboard is going to get the copy of Linux that THEY want - and not what YOU happen to think is great? Why would would an OEM manufacturer that purchases thousands of mobos in a single shipment to include in their embedded appliance wants to pay more on each mobo to get an OS that they will discard? Oh, as for the microshaft crap, when the hell have you bought a mobo and actually gotten an OS with it? Duh! What a dumbfuck. You can't differentiate a motherboard from a pre-built computer with an OS bundle.
