I agree with most anti-microsoft people regarding their issues with their software.

i personally love the Sharp Zaurus with Linux. I wonder if the manufacturers of PDAs think that the average computer user/consumer would rather see something with Windows on it, simply because its microsoft, and thats all the uneducated people are aware of as far as computing in general is concerned..

Or are the manufacturers saving money by purchasing the MS Windows Mobile OS simply because it's cheaper than hiring a developer to customize a mobile Linux alternative???? any light shed on this subject would be much appreciated..

what really is cheaper? or more WORTH it I should say?
