On: Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep

I'm worried about installing a Free OS on a new AMI BIOSd machine then having the manufacturer tell me that I'm S.O.L. for hardware support because I run an "untrusted" OS. (which is rather silly, I'll trust OpenBSD before Windows anytime, anyplace..)

Re:SCO

On: SCO Has "Made No Decision" On Linux IP Claims

Our UNIX IP is a significant asset and for several months we have been holding internal discussions, exploring a wide range of possible strategies concerning this asset

Rather than "exploiting" anything, why not just work on improving their product and giving some actual Value Added improvements to customers of their system?

..which means Microsoft made no money from the purchase of that computer. That's probably a big deal for those to whom this sort of thing matters.

No money in the bank, but they get mindshare by having a Windows desktop displayed. That is worth something.

Mandrake is now sold pre-loaded on millions of inexpensive, high-quality computers at Wal-Mart
