Actually, an interesting thing happened when I booted my Thinkpad the
first time: a message dialog came up with the license text and asked me
to read it and agree or decline the agreement. I agreed, since I must
use Windows sometimes for work, but I now wish I had declined to see
what would have happened. It probably would have instructed me to
return the computer and shutdown after I pushed "OK". Anyone else had a
similar adventure?

I think the IBM/Linux announcement is *very* good news.
