Is There An OS On My Hard Drive?

Posted by timothy on Tuesday September 23, 2003 @06:42PM from the pt-barnum-meets-computers dept.

stm2 writes "Thanks to an agreement between Lindows and Seagate, from October you will be able to choose a hard drive with or without Lindows. Michael Robertson, in his usual marketing speak, compares this to adding "Fluoride in the water", because now you get for free something you used to need to go after (people used to go to dentist to get their Fluoride). According to the PR, the OS can autodetect and configure itself on the host machine."

Oh, and don't forget:

Does it come with pr0n pre-installed too?

Flouride rinses and toothpastes that are not meant to be swallowed are preventative measures.

Flouride in the water supply, where people do swallow it, is an entirely different matter.
