...only the cheap ones. This was asked by a member of the audience and answered by the CEO during the presentation where the announcement was made today in San Diego. Specifically, no DVD licence.

Loaded Opteron server, $5,550. They shipped it two weeks late and broken. I returned it and they let it sit in repair for two weeks. I had to insult the guy in the shop to get him to go find it and fix it. After six weeks of shouting I finally got a machine that works, but the 15 day registration period for some of the software expired and they wouldn't replace it, because "We don't take returns on software."
Decide for yourself.

There is already a solution for this, it is called compulsory licensing. Government sets the price and tells the patent holder to issue licenses to anyone who wants one. Has been used for drug patents.
This has nothing to do with the environmental disaster caused.
