Submission + - Dell Linux Conspiracy Theory
Spacey Spade writes: "I've heard that Microsoft pretty much owns Apple these days, and it occured to me that:
1) Microsoft knows Vista is unpopular
2) Microsoft wants Apple to get a larger user base
a) because of the resistance from Europe (good goin guys)
b) If an operating system becomes an appliance they cannot make money off of it, so they make it complex on purpose. Hey! Let's have two OS's that are hard to support!
Here's the shield they have in place to keep Linux from making headway: DELL !!!!!
Dell is in it too. Dell is taking their sweet time offering Linux. It promises but will not deliver. The threat of Dell offering Linux would keep other enterprises from taking steps to offer Linux, because they would be crushed by Dell.
I dunno... just an idea, but people in touch should check this out for the sake of Linux, or the BSD's.
