Another Dumb question : Why require HDTV inputs, ala HDMI, but not have HDTV Content? "DOH". This product is pretty stupid. DRM infection is the answer btw.
Maybe you should really go back to school or kept up with this topic for the past year. Dell already admitted that it would cost roughly $30 for a NO WINDOWS option. Dell doesnt exactly pay $100/machine for a Vista OEM license you know? You must think Dell used to pay Intel MSRP on Intel Chips too eh?
Um, so does Dell, in their servers. No one is stupid enough to sell a desktop with Linux and think they will make monies off it (hp included) after all the logistics/support for them are in place.
Maybe a total of 2 would be sold a year. Those two would both think HP/Dell sucks for not supporting their favorite XX distribution.
No Windows eh? Ok, pay the cost difference for not having crapware that subsidizes your cost of the machine. You are just fucking yourselves by requesting Linux/No OS option... tack on another $30 or so to the cost of the machine.
There shall now be a Linux Tax. Oh, you linux users didn't know how business works? Should have taken some business courses in school instead.
Companies choose to use/buy software that helps them make money (or loose less in the case of government), not put them back in the stone age. Where is an Exchange killer? Excel killer? Sales Territory Mapping software? TI OMAP SDK/Emulator kit? Blackberry Desktop Manager? Yeah, thought so.
PS, I used Debian for 8 years during college, until I realized I couldn't do anything productive with it when I started making monies.

Yeah. NYC doesn't need garbage cans, they have sidewalks.
