Is There An OS On My Hard Drive?

Posted by timothy on 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."

    Fluroide is one of the most highly produced toxic waste products. Putting it in the water, and convincing people it's good for them was a very clever trick.
