   This is very good news indeed, but it’s sad that this has to be considered good news, and paying a Microsoft tax is still the norm.

   When will we be able to buy any hardware we want without paying Microsoft (unless the hardware itself is Microsoft’s) in any country…

   I’ve just bought my mother a low-end HP notebook which comes with only FreeDOS preinstalled. I’m comparing now Ubuntu and OpenSUSE. I’ll probably go with OpenSUSE because the 3.x line of KDE is still supported in new releases as opposed to (K)Ubuntu.

   If you mean Linux on Desktops, it’s here. If you mean Linux on a lot of desktops, don’t hold your breath. It’s years away unless FOSS developers start caring about their users more than about the software. That is still very rare, the pidgin/carrier fork is just one example of how rare.

   Besides that, I totally dig your theme. It’s kickin! Probably one of the neatest I’ve seen for a blog.
