You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:58] ms majority market share [06:58] b.g. now basically retired [06:58] whoops, that didn't either. [06:58] ms will slowly go the way of ibm [06:59] morka: Exactly, nobody stays number one forever. [06:59] all oem manufacturers have agreements with ms [06:59] that's how they can get OS cheaper, and compete [06:59] we have linux preinstalled on some systems, but can't advertise it much. [07:00] and it comes with no support whatsoever, just hardware support [07:00] for a windows based machine, you get support for os and hardware [07:00] for just about the same $$$ [07:00] 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. [07:01] who broke ranks? [07:01] corps ? [07:01] maybe [07:01] homeusers wont budge, unless they are geeks [07:01] but corps dont even buy any OSes [07:01] morka: Wasn't Dell shipping linux boxes, and a small name was selling through Walmart [07:02] dell n series [07:02] you get freedos [07:02] or maybe redhat [07:02] if u want [07:02] morka: Ok, so they are/were testing the waters. [07:03] yes, but they barely sell [07:03] morka: Umm, that is why it is called testing. [07:03] linux acceptance would be great for OEM builders [07:03] margins are very low, like 50$ [07:04] saving on OS would let you either compete on the price, or squeeze in more harware in [07:05] morka: What about RMO folks? No more hassles with all the nasties associated with Winders. [07:05] they barely sell because dell cannot advertise much about those n-series:) [07:05] what RMO folks [07:06] morka: Yes MS has a hatchet hanging over their head. [07:06] difficult to say whose hatchet is hanging over whose head [07:06] morka: Do you know what an RMO is? [07:06] dell is one of the largest buyers of ms software [07:06] I dont know what an RMO stands for [07:08] morka: Repair and Maintiance (sp) Org/Op [07:19] morka: did you fall out of your chair? === Rinchen [n=Rinchen@ubuntu/member/rinchen] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === GazzaK [n=Dogbert@unaffiliated/GazzaK] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === willvdl [n=will@dumbledore.hbd.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === n2diy [n=darryl@66.212.43.232] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === GazzaK [n=Dogbert@unaffiliated/GazzaK] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === GazzaK [n=Dogbert@unaffiliated/GazzaK] has left #ubuntu-marketing ["Connection] === meatballhat [n=dbuch@unaffiliated/meatballhat] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === willvdl [n=will@dumbledore.hbd.com] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:53] juliux: are we using your server for gobby [11:53] Admiral_Chicago, yes [11:54] kk i'm on my way to check it out [11:54] juliux: url@ftw?
