I was just reading my daily slashdot mail and came across a story originally posted on the ZDnet UK website. I guess you should have a read and see for yourself, Top five PC manufacturers fail naked PC test.
In my oh so humble opinion, this verges on the definite dark side of computing. Big name companies are not selling "naked" computers, i.e.: they won't supply a PC without an operating system on it, specifically, Microsoft Windows.
I'm not sure what is worse, PC vendors being "forced" to supply Windows, or the fact that even when alternatives are available, you can't actually get it. Lenovo offers PCs with pre-installed linux, but couldn't give information about how to obtain such a PC.
Ok, I guess this can be my rant for this week...
Ah and I just realised I still need to make an update on how my first week at the new company went.
Well, seeing as it's St. Patricks day, I have a lot of drinking to do, so I guess that will have to wait till tomorrow.
