They're shipping machines pre-installed with Red Hat 7.1. Unfortunately, checking their website shows that only business machines will have a Linux option; home machines are still WinXP only."

    You say this like you actually think that Linux has more than a snowball's chance in sorry Hell to succeed on the desktop.

    While you're at it, I have a bridge in New York I want to sell you...
