  1. Boycott Dell, HP, Gateway by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    The major computer OEMs such as Dell, HP, and
    Gateway are refusing to offer CONSUMERS a
    non-Microsoft choice.
    These OEMs are anti-competitve and
    anti-consumer-choice. They continue to maintain Microsoft's desktop
    monopoly.

    I suggest not doing business with these companies until they offer a serious non-Microsoft choice to CONSUMERS.

    Here are some companies that DO offer consumers a choice.

    Heh. Regarding your sig. The one in DC has proven his idiocy. Over and over again. Thanks for the WMD George. I'm sure we all feel safer and more secure now that they are found. 200+ billion? Naah, we don't need it for anything in particular.

    Nice.
