i love having access to FOSS source code, i build some cool custom systems starting with just a core OS that does not include X, gtk or qt and hand rolled the rest by hand with my own personal preferences when it comes to dependencies , some Linux users might think of it as a Frankenstein monster but they boot up quickly and have excellent response time launching & running applications (better than any run of the mill distro)...

the UAW has been running the big 5 auto makers in to the ground by feigning to fight for better wages and benefits for workers years only to line their own pockets at the same time the NTSC and DOT regulating the hell out of the auto makers too thus upping the cost of manufacturing and sticker price of automobiles it is no wonder a new car or pickup costs almost as buying a house and to do what with it?, wear it out and sell it for pennies on the dollar in 10 years only to do it all over again so not many people can get ahead with expensive auto payments and full coverage insurance, i learned my lesson once in the 1980s and i will NEVER buy a new automobile ever again...

I hope HP has lots of success in this venture in developing a Linux for their PCs...
honest competition is good, maybe it will cause other OEMs to raise their eyebrows and pay attention. IBM are you listening? you should have done this with the Thinkpad laptops and desktop PCs (alternatives are good)...
