As you said I hope they listen to you, but I doubt it. And as a sidenote my HP dv6040us notebook has been a constant battle to get up and keep running as a linux only box, and my wife's NEW HP desktop is so bogged down by Vista that she comes and uses my laptop sometimes.

I think HP needs to understand that "geeks" tend to have much power especially in recommending things to corporations and individuals. For instance, I have "converted" our church into installing Ubuntu on their systems for security. I also installed Ubuntu on 5 different desktops and laptops in the past 3 months alone! What's more is I ask those people how they like it and they say it runs fast, is free of viruses and spyware, and does everything they want it to for FREE!!! Okay, I will stop sweating and shouting now... Calm down. ;) I agree with you Shawn.

That said, I wouldn't recommend a product I thought was crap. I'd hesitate to even accept them as a sponsor, but I would definitely draw the line at "recommending" them. I realize Microsoft is a big bully, but it's not like HP is a tiny vendor either.

I can tie cherry stems in multiple knots with my tongue, and also unwrap Starburst with said tongue. Both are incredibly useful skills, particularly if you're trying to turn someone on from across the room. Blowpops are also quite useful for this, but I won't go into detail because Shawn seems rather innocent and I don't want to be accused of corrupting a minor. Hmmm.
