I don't understand how Intel supports this. They have pumped a lot of money and support into Linux in the past. Why would they now produce products that freeze it out?
The problem is that now they are responsible to the end user. Before they had the OEM to shield them from the end user both legally and operationally. MS could always point at the OEM and claim the problem is with the hardware. During the leagal actions agains MS, they claimed they weren't culpable because they didn't sell the product to the end user the OEM or reseller did. This removes that layer of protection and allows class action against MS directly.
Ars had a good story about de-crapping your WIN install (http://arstechnica.com/features/2012/06/blowing-away-bloatware-a-guide-to-reinstalling-windows-on-a-new-pc/). It includes a url to download images of WIN7 and instructions on how to activate it.
Does this support audible.com? I have too much invested in audiobooks to get rid of iTunes without an alternative. If I could get a linux version that does that I could ditch windows altogether.
Is this going to be like USB with V1.0,the crippled version to meet a GSA spec? Then later in the year v2.0,the real thing. Then next year V3.0 with all of the bugs out.
They are adjacent to the border. Under customs laws, you can be searched if it can be shown that you have or might have entered the country via the road the check point is on.

Gives new meaning to "a sugar high."

Better than carpet bombing from 20,000 feet.
They could call it Zoidberg.
All it needs now is a movie about the founders and it'll be ready for an IPO.
Also, Intel has a long history of supporting Linux. I can't imagine they would build hardware that would not work with it.
The zombies ate them all.
Or more likely, they have discovered the tax advantages being a church provides.
The engineer with the recall codes was on sabbatical.
We have string theory accepted as fact with little or no data to support it.
Then SOCAN has no one to pay.
Remember Dell? Dell stock languishes in the low teens. It hasn't been the same since he hired the carpet baggers.
BN did the one thing that will make me buy an iPad.

Nothing improves software performance like new hardware.
I wonder how many of the channels that do make money kickback part of the profit to the cable providers? Above board or otherwise.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
