- order the machine *WITH LICENSE* and have it *shipped tramp-stamped with an OEM sticker for the price including cost of the hardware, shipping and handling and the license fees* - order the machine *CLEAN* and have it *shipped with a blank drive for the price including to the cost of the hardware, shipping and handling* Nobody gets hurt - except M$ stranglehold on the industry. Unlike in the current situation where *M$ taxes almost everyone* buying a new computer - *INCLUDING THE OWNERS OF RETAIL LICENSES*. That just ain't right. Not to mention legal - as demonstrated by anyone who ever sued for refund. But PC manufactures want money, and Microsoft will give that to them. Exactly. M$ absolutely loves to maintain their monopoly by bribery, extortion and intimidation. Remember OLPC and OOXML? And that's just a few notable cases from the top of my head. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
