making deals with M$

[Chandru]

I guess Novell has some sort of protection through the deal.  Because from
what I had read somewhere, there was no mention of Mono in deals wiht others
like Linspire and Xandros but the Novell deal did mention it.

And I have the same doubt as you.  Especially the non-ecma parts like Mono's
implementation of ADO.NET which also is bundled by default in Ubuntu CDs .

We choose the brand of our Mobile Phone, Motorbike, Car, Shirt, Shoe, Bread,
etc. Then why not the brand of our OS too?

Pre-loading and forcing Vista on new laptops kills consumers' choice. Fight
for choice of OS just as there is for the Hard Disk capacity in new laptops.
