Avoid EVERYTHING (buying, developing, etc.) Microsoft.

Pass it on ...

 
All they did was "patent" the idea.  I read the article yesterday on
MSNBC; just because Steve B.  "wants" to do this doesn't mean all the
other companies that make the chips, MB's hardware, etc will play
along.  MS only makes the Windows OS and Office applications, not the
computers.  At this point Apple is gaining market presence and
computer users have begun to lose their fear of Linux (myself
included, the Asus Netbook I bought have Ubuntu on it).  If you read
the comments from others who read the same article (on MSNBC), there
was a collective "so"?

I think its just going to be an option.  No way are pc mfgs going to cancel
pc sales.

 
Not to mention, most hardware enthusiasts roll their own, anyway.  And linux
is not for sale at any price.  -Dave

 
That's not Linux I see on the shelves at Fry's or Best Buy??  Or is it
not really Linux if it has another name like Red Hat or Ubuntu?
