Well I think here you have to read through the lines, let's see what the first paragraph says: Microsoft OEM Western Region Pilot Program Identifying PC Bids that do not include an Operating System for each PC Firstly, they want to identify each bid which do not include an operating system why ever. we need your help in assuring that each and every PC has a licensed and legal operating system. Secondly, they want that every system has a licensed and legal operating system... I don't know what they mean with a licensed operating system. I don't think that Linux is licensed, you can get it for free... It is to your benefit as an OEM to sell Operating Systems with each PC, especially if you will be servicing and supporting your customer. This means, that as a good vendorer you should distribute every PC with a MS Operating System. As I am German I am a lil' bit more sensed about such things. It's more or less the same way like Nazis tried to take over FULL control in 1933 to 45. They collected information about there enemies and installed spies everywhere. I would think a lil' bit more about what is really happening in this world. Microsoft is trying to get a monopoly in every important sector in the new economy. They have full control over desktop systems they have big control in servers. They wanted to have a monopoly in banking software - thank god they weren't able to do it. Then they took over control at browsers and now they want to take over control @ freemail services with hotmail. You don't know what's the real source code of MS OS's and you don't know what they do with your E-Mails but expect the worst. CU, David Weisgerber tnt@md.2y.net
