It's about time Microsoft did something about all of the guys who sell dirt-cheap PC's out of their garages,... Didn't Gateway get it's start in a barn?

I don't know about Gateway, but Gates worked out of his garage in the early years, IIRC.

I'm not sure about Gateway, but from what I remember, Michael Dell started building PC's in his living room when he was in college.

They may have, but they didn't sell PC's loaded with counterfeit software. The "garage" part doesn't bother me, it's the "theft" part of what many of them do which irks me. Being very small and staying under the radar, many profit from theft, and take business away from ethical dealers.
