[ale] OT: M$ vs. Linux netbooks

[Jim Kinney]

loosing money on each machine sold will look very bad as the justice
department revisits the monopoly status and begins the evaluation
process to determine if anything has improved since the ruling.

Again - buy the lower cost XP model, refuse the EULA (it should be the
first screen) and demand a refund of the $50-$75 OS cost from
Microsoft, not Acer. Inform Acer of the intent to demand the refund
and blog like mad about it.
