(news story) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Did you hear about the letter sent by Ralph Nader from a consumer group, to the top six PC manufacturers, asking them to offer PCs with non-Microsoft operating systems? There's a news story on it at: http://www.pcworld.com/news/daily/data/0398/980309225518.html The actual letter can be found (scroll down to get to it) at: http://www.essential.org/antitrust/ms/ipnmarch91998.html Unfortunately it doesn't explicitly mention FreeBSD - and it may not change anything in the short term - but at least it's a start!
