| morka | heh | 06:55 |
| morka | it really exists | 06:55 |
| n2diy | yeeaaa | 06:56 |
| morka | btw, we offered free updates to anyone who bought xp during last months of 2006 | 06:56 |
| morka | once vista was released, our order servers went down | 06:56 |
| morka | so, apparently people are willing to at least voluntarily check out vista | 06:57 |
| n2diy | ! ubotu | bugs morka, see #1 | 06:57 |

| n2diy | whoops, that didn't work. | 06:58 |

| ubotu | bugs morka: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 06:58 |
| morka | ms majority market share | 06:58 |
| morka | b.g. now basically retired | 06:58 |
| n2diy | whoops, that didn't either. | 06:58 |
| morka | ms will slowly go the way of ibm | 06:58 |
| n2diy | morka: Exactly, nobody stays number one forever. | 06:59 |
| morka | all oem manufacturers have agreements with ms | 06:59 |
| morka | that's how they can get OS cheaper, and compete | 06:59 |
| morka | we have linux preinstalled on some systems, but can't advertise it much. | 06:59 |
| morka | and it comes with no support whatsoever, just hardware support | 07:00 |
| morka | for a windows based machine, you get support for os and hardware | 07:00 |
| morka | for just about the same $$$ | 07:00 |
| n2diy | morka: Not all of them, some broke rank. But it is the little guy that will break MS. When I explain to the locals they don't have to pony up for a 1000 licenses with linux, I think they'll listen. | 07:00 |
| morka | who broke ranks? | 07:01 |
| morka | corps ? | 07:01 |
| morka | maybe | 07:01 |
| morka | homeusers wont budge, unless they are geeks | 07:01 |
| morka | but corps dont even buy any OSes | 07:01 |
| n2diy | morka: Wasn't Dell shipping linux boxes, and a small name was selling through Walmart | 07:01 |
| morka | dell n series | 07:02 |
| morka | you get freedos | 07:02 |
| morka | or maybe redhat | 07:02 |
| morka | if u want | 07:02 |
| n2diy | morka: Ok, so they are/were testing the waters. | 07:02 |
| morka | yes, but they barely sell | 07:03 |
| n2diy | morka: Umm, that is why it is called testing. | 07:03 |
| morka | linux acceptance would be great for OEM builders | 07:03 |
| morka | margins are very low, like 50$ | 07:03 |
| morka | saving on OS would let you either compete on the price, or squeeze in more harware in | 07:04 |
| n2diy | morka: What about RMO folks? No more hassles with all the nasties associated with Winders. | 07:05 |
| morka | they barely sell because dell cannot advertise much about those n-series:) | 07:05 |
| morka | what RMO folks | 07:05 |
| n2diy | morka: Yes MS has a hatchet hanging over their head. | 07:06 |
| morka | difficult to say whose hatchet is hanging over whose head | 07:06 |
| n2diy | morka: Do you know what an RMO is? | 07:06 |
| morka | dell is one of the largest buyers of ms software | 07:06 |
| morka | I dont know what an RMO stands for | 07:06 |
| n2diy | morka: Repair and Maintiance (sp) Org/Op | 07:08 |
| n2diy | morka: did you fall out of your chair? | 07:19 |

| meatballhat | gotcha :) ... should I send you an email? paypal? | 04:18 |
| juliux | yes e-mail with your name, postaddress | 04:19 |

| juliux | and you can pay via paypal | 04:19 |
| juliux | yes | 04:19 |
| meatballhat | excellent | 04:19 |
| juliux | or take juliux@ubuntu-de.org | 04:19 |
| meatballhat | done :) | 04:19 |
| juliux | but that is not the paypal account | 04:20 |
| juliux | did you want a t-shirt or a polo? | 04:20 |
| meatballhat | juliux: I'd like the polo, assuming it's the more business-y of the two ;-) | 04:20 |
| juliux | yes it is more business | 04:21 |
| juliux | that is the reason why we made polos;) | 04:21 |
| juliux | we made 100 polos and 50 t-shirts | 04:21 |
| meatballhat | I'm going to be on the local lecture circuit :) (wheee!) | 04:21 |
| meatballhat | good choice :) ....I prefer the Linus side of the camp, if you know what I mean | 04:21 |
| juliux | you have luck;) there are only 2 polos in L left | 04:22 |
| === meatballhat claims a polo! | ||
| jenda | juliux: speaking of paypal... ;) | 04:23 |

| tsmithe | i would shout, "i am!" here, but that seems inappropriate | 04:24 |
| jenda | juliux: I'm not sure who was supposed to pay, but I'm sure nobody did :-D | 04:24 |
| juliux | jenda, i mailed smurf that he should pay your the money | 04:25 |
| jenda | tsmithe: very ;) | 04:25 |
