The absence of MS software is likely to cause an increase in price - not a reduction. You are only taking into account the price that Dell has to pay for MS software; however, Dell makes that up from companies that pay them to include their software - all those apps that come installed on a new computer.
Most of the issues that Gates brought up already had support from politicians. For example, McCain and Kennedy are introducing legislation regarding Visas, and Bush was already interested in federal research funding.
You seem to have trouble understanding the differences between a dependent and independent clause. For example, "have to content ourselves with providing corrections here" is not an independent clause. Here is a link to help with that: Independent and Dependent Clauses.
You also seem to have some issues with anger management. Here is a link to deal with that as well: How to Deal with Anger.
If you are going to complain about someone's grammar, make sure to check your own. "have to content ourselves with providing corrections here" is not a complete sentence; therefore, you should not have placed a comma before "and".

Odd that FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD can not be considered distributions when the BSD in their names stands for "Berkeley Software Distribution".

Seeing how FreeBSD is only one of several BSD distributions (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD), I don't see how it solves the "distribution sprawl".
