[brlug-general] [brlug-newbies] Dell gives the go-ahead for Linux

[Andrew Baudouin]

Not that I like it, but if it is indeed true that Dells w/ Linux cost more
than identical Windows configurations, then that can be directly traced back
to subsidization.  5 years ago, I built PC's for myself and for all of my
friends.  I still do it for myself 'cause I can get things a piece at a
time, but I no longer recommend that avenue for Joe user.  It isn't cost
effective for them or for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if MS makes all of its money off of corporate and
education licensing and has since written off the consumer business.
