Yeah and that fucking sucks, I don't understand why Sony, Dell, HP, Toshiba, Gateway, etc don't give us a fucking option to buy one with Linux, it would be cheaper and with way less intrusive crap on your computer because they wouldn't have to pay any royalties to anybody. Maybe they are waiting for google to give them a good deal when they finally come out with their OS.
The XBox fanboys are saying that MS has nothing to worry about, well I disagree, while 90% is still fucking huge, it is worth remembering that IE had over 90% of web browsers at one point too, all we need is good alternatives (Apple, Linux, maybe Google) and have those being offered out of the box on computers at BB, Amazon and other stores, I will still want Windows around and competing and pushing each other, overall we win as consumers, IE actually got a lot better and more stable after Opera, Safari, Firefox and now Chrome gained major shares on it. Of course on the flip side of that is that MS wouldn't post $4billion profits every quarter, so that would be kind of bad for them.
