from the Intel site: "When you see the "Designed for Windows" logo, it signifies that the system or device meets Microsoft's standard for hardware compatibility with the specified Microsoft Windows operating system." It seems like you might, but I don't interpret that to mean exclusivity to Windows. Just that it meets the Microsoft requirement for the label. Dell, HP and ASUS (the brands you mention) all have contributed to OSS in various significant ways. You can order computers from Dell with Linux pre-installed. Servers from HP in the same way. -- m0gely _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
