Please note that all modern notebooks already have a flashy sticker reading "Designed for Windows/XP". With Windoes/XP, everything just works (or has been tweaked to work, who knows). So I still don't see a real incentive for notebook vendors. And yes, the world would be much better if notebook vendors were competing for stickers like "Designed for Linux" and "Designed for Mac/OS". > (Of course, Intel /could/ make something like this a requirement for > the Centrino branding, which would probably help a great deal) This I fully agree with. -- Johan ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
