I was wondering... What would it take to get hardware companies like Dell, Gateway, and Micron to sell their server products with FreeBSD installed (or just on a cd for the customer to install) instead of Windows NT? What comes into play with trying to do that? Prove that FreeBSD is worthy? Or are those hardware vendors afraid that Microsoft would retaliate? (I'm not sure up on the MS vs. DOJ subject) How much trouble would it be for them to have FreeBSD as on option? (I'm sure they can possibly have other options as well - BSDi, Linux, Solarix x86) Anyways, I was just wondering. Any comments, opinions, or answers?
