Microsoft have cracked down on retailers trying to sell alternate OS's when they sign a contract to sell Windoze. (This theoretically effecting people selling Amithlon pre-installed, or the likes). Essentially saying... :
(from slashdot.org) "Some Sys Admin sent in an email that he got from Dell which basically says Microsoft will no longer allow Dell to sell PCs without an operating system. " - But if you think this was only Dell, the wording seems to effect all retailers, read article for more information: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/10/1420208.

This is exactly the reason for why Amiga did the right choice by not going x86. PPC may not be the cheapest or the fastest option, but it's not far from it and most importantly; M$ can't get in our way. You don't realize how important such advantage is until something like this happens.
But then, in the end, Amiga will rule them all. ;-) |
