   It seems to me that Dell is just milking Microsoft for a better licensing deal.If Dell was serious about selling a Linux desktopthey would advertise them on their website.I looked, but all I found was this."Dell does not officially support running Linux on Dell laptops."[url]http://linux.dell.com/desktops.shtml[/url]If you want a Linux desktopyou may want to look at these companies.[url]http://www.addonshop.com/[/url][url]http://ww

   What make me mad is Dell spamming uswith ads for Windows machines at Linux news articles.IMO Dell is NOT a Linux desktop company. Shop elsewhere.

   Heh, thanks to Microsoft's secret licenses, we'll probably never see a dual-booting computer, with both Windows and Linux, from any manufacturer. It's always one or the other, not both.

   "we'll probably never see a dual-booting computer"Some of the companies I listed above offer dual boot.Don't expect it from Dell or HP.
