"Hell I know people who *exclusively* search. I.e. their process of going to a website is searching for it and hitting the top search result."

I also don't remember this, and my Desktop was allways set to the std. blue-ish color.

I think this is great because I get very reasonable priced hardware to run Linux on, great Displays and perfect AIO PCs with a very nice Design.

It was exchanged, by the new mayor and Linux hat, to get a Microsoft investment and to ditch LiMux.

A really devilish deal.

"In the summertime, when the weather is fine"
Then they buy electricity ;)

Come on, cut them some slack, they are in the process of dismantelling their company, sometimes you don't think about the nicest solutions, then.

What really matters is that they have changed their stance, and shown their heart.
