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.

Microsoft extend their monopolistic behaviours (again) : Comment 20 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 12-Aug-2002 09:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 19 (hgm): Die like BeOS? Didn't BeOS die because they switched to x86 and then got blocked out from the market by M$? That's a perfect example how we should *not* go about this, don't you think? |
