Where Do YOU Send Netbook Users For Help?

09/19/2008  
Relevance: 5.51
As a Linux evangelist, I find myself in an interesting quandary. There are many new netbooks being sold with Linux pre-installed, but often the way Linux is installed is not what I’m used to seeing. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I understand the reasoning for custom interfaces, but it has some disadvantages. Love it or hate it, as a Linux community we have to be able to handle these things gracefully, or we lose all the potential impact we gain with pre-installed Linux.

Acer FR condemned to reimburse€500 for pre-installed software

09/29/2007  
Relevance: 5.46
[ Translated& summarized by hkwint ]Normally, an Acer customer who doesn't wish to use Windows XP can only receive€30 as a reimbursement. However, Acer doesn't reimburse pre-installed software other than Windows XP. Not willing to pay for any of the pre-installed software, an Acer client living near Paris went to the court to receive a reimbursement forall pre-installed software, and the judge decided in favour of the client. The judge decided, Acer should reimburse all pre-installed software, including Windows XP, Norton Antivirus, MS Works, Power DVD, and NTI CD maker. This added up to a total of over€300, and the judge ordered Acer should pay a total sum of €500 to the client to include indemnification.Another case in which the UFC Que Choiser pressed charges against HP is still waiting for a decision by the judge.

Is Linux currently at a fundamental disadvantage owing to how computers are set up?

07/31/2008  
Relevance: 5.00
When you, Joe or Mary user, buy a computer at Best Buy or Computer Village or order a computer from Dell or Gateway, you get a computer with a system already installed. Do you think they had any trouble installing that system on that computer? Do you think that if Dell sells Mary a computer with Windows installed and they sell Joe a computer with Linux installed, that Dell had a differentially hard time installing one of those systems compared to the other? Think about it.
