More Linux OEM Musings

Maybe this will convince OEM's like Dell to take a closer look at Linux. The problem is, the larger the OEM the more tied to MSFT they are. I've seen some estimates (that were backed up with some very logical looking numbers) that up to 20% of Dell's profitability comes from Microsoft bonuses, incentives and kickbacks. That's hard to turn your back on.
