"Leading PC manufacturer Acer has accused Microsoft of ratcheting up the cost of Windows by effectively forcing consumers to opt for the Premium version of Vista. Acer claims that the Vista Home Basic - the new entry-level Windows - is so poorly featured that consumers will simply reject it. "The new [Vista] experience you hear of, if you get Basic, you won't feel it at all," said Jim Wong, senior corporate vice president at Acer. "There's no [Aero] graphics, no Media Center, no remote control."

For fun, I did a search and it turns out it's about the same amount: a bit over 20.000.
How many of the Linux ones are duplicates? How many different eMacs clones are there ... for example.
Every last one of those Linux packages has a personal caretaker, that makes sure the package integrates well with the entire system.
Ha ha ha ha ha. You MUST be kidding!
There's no spyware in any of the Linux packages.
You've personnally reviewd all the code?
