Dell mocks MS' mandatory-OS regime | |
|
||
| Time: 05:21 EST/10:21 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||
|
Dell has devised a cute trick to accommodate its big corporate customers without crossing its Lord and Master, Microsoft, which has decreed that all OEM computers shall be shipped with operating systems, according to a recent Cnet article. To make life easier for big shops using Linux, which can be installed on any number of machines without drawing a 'dynamic entry' from the BSA paramilitary squads, Dell is going to ship naked desktops and workstations and simply chuck a copy of FreeDOS into the shipping carton to satisfy the Microsoft licensing Taliban. Thus it will not be necessary for the recipient to purchase some unwanted OS for hundreds of machines at a time. | ||
