Hi all,
I have seen ads of all Desktop/Notebook manufacturers from Dell to
Leneova, which only recommends XP inspite of it being more vulnerable
to attacks. Why can't they recommend GNU/Linux  or BSD's which is more
stable and trouble free? Is that M$ is paying the manufacturers for
putting the caption
"XYZ recommends Windows XP"

bye,
