This is a totally unfair comparison. some guy payed exclusively to install, configure and test M$ on that laptop probably spent the better part of a day making that "pre-installed" image, an I might add with no doubt direct phone support from the hardware manufacturers of all peripheral chipsets. It's not Linux that is the problem it's the hardware manufacturers, I'm sure that even the guy doing the same thing at Apple takes a few days to get a new platform running smooth and Apple is it's own hardware supplier. Let's face it, if Lenovo, HP, or Dell pre-installed and set up SmartPM or one of the other repo's, using linux and getting software for daily use would be just as easy. as getting your laptop from the store was for you. p.s and a 3rd less cost. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
