Besides,
My other point was that why are they pre-loading linux if according to them it has 'limitted functionality'? No one asked them to load linux then why load it and then treat it like a pariah. This is just like the pcq guy who botched up the pcq 2k6 distro and then blamed OSS for it. As a linux forum, can we demand from them to either remove the disclaimer or stop pre-loading linux? They are not doing linux any favour. Just like the petition websites, we could have a petition page that will send an email with collected signatures to organisations that abuse linux. Regards, Rony.
