Re: [Trisquel-users] Did Microsoft invest in Dell to curb GNU/Linux adoption?

[chris]

Dell isn't taking GNU/Linux anywhere. Dell is at best using GNU/Linux for  
publicity and/or to make baseless threats toward Microsoft to coerce better  
deals. They are certainly no threat to Microsoft though. Microsoft has all  
the major companies under its tight grip. If there was any threat Microsoft  
would probably pull funding or make a major investment in the company. Think  
something along the lines of what they did with Nokia, Netflix, or any number  
of other companies. Microsoft certainly knows how to keep GNU/Linux at bay.  
They don't even need to buy these companies. A mere investment is sufficient.
