There’s been countless threads claiming Dell was already shipping or imminently shipping Linux which were all false. LOL don’t act innocent, you’re still going around claiming Windows 2000 is “unsupported” even though anyone can continue to automatically receive security updates till 2010! Anything you think you can get away with to push free software on others.

Short on reading comprehension today, need coffee? what do you think I meant when I sad disagreement about workstation vs. desktop debate? Yes there were a couple of threads which, if you consider dell 'workstations' to be something other than a suped up desktop would have been wrong and if you consider these 'workstations' to be just a high end desktop would have been right. The whole desktop / workstation thing is a moving target and there is nothing definitive out there (from say IEEE) saying what the difference between the classes in the market place should be. Currently its all about marketing. Its that whole 'lets have an adult discussion' rather than 'lets run around picking fights' thing again, look into it.

The *vast* majority of threads, especially in the past couple of months have been about dell *starting* to offer Linux on their lower end desktops. In these threads you have openly mocked the idea it would happen..

LOL don’t act innocent .....

blah blah blah, stay on topic and stop thread jumping the mod has warned you about such things and I have told you I'm not getting dragged into a two yo thread every time you don't like the way a conversation is going. IMO talking about this thread and this topic if you care to join me please continue.
