[SGVLUG] Is Linux Approaching a Tipping Point or Is Microsoft Being Played By Dell

[Greg Stark]

Heavey Sigh...
I read these stories, and I wonder what if Linux is approaching a tipping
point or Is Microsoft Being Played By Dell

What I was thinking is Dell needs more margin, so like Wal-Mart they say to
there suppliers we want more margin or we won't carry you or we'll start
carrying and promoting a competitor.  Microsoft says heavy sigh well we
can't give you that much.... And Michael gets a sudden interest in Ubuntu,
and why Ubuntu.  Of coarse Microsoft spinmasters whipout their trust FUD gun
and spin.
