Linux "A few months back, LXer reader, cyber_rigger, began compiling a list of vendors who offer GNU/Linux pre-installed. The list quickly grew, even drawing attention from other news outlets. Meanwhile, the LXer team went to work to produce a usable database that anyone can browse and search. We still have one or two features to implement, but users can quickly and easily browse the Pre-Installed Linux Vendor Database of 106 vendors. All vendors in the list offer reasonably-priced desktops and/or notebooks for home and office users, and either offer Linux only, or as an installation option on the system configuration page of their sites."

I wasn't asking for a Google query which combines the terms "Gartner" and "Microsoft". I can do that just fine, by myself, thank you. That doesn't prove your point. It merely throws up a bunch of unrelated query results ...

How about this ... how about providing actual evidence that MS funded the study that you don't like, rather than engaging in your typical hit-and-run, guilt-by-association nonsense...
