I’m trying to be nice too, some of these guys might not have any other option than free software handouts ya know.
But I do have this Sun software running on the openSuSE I installed on the system: Virtual Box, that runs Win2K just fine. So on the rare occasion I need to run a windows app, I don't have to dual boot. Just click and open a window for windows. And the nice thing is, it's sandboxed. The way windows should be run.
But hey, the article is about HP and the UK. HP has a lot to make up for from the Carly years, and the UK, land of my ancestors, went all Orwellian about the time their native son said they would. So independence, is not of their strong suits.
