Zvi, - You are our Open Source hero of the week (or maybe of the year, or maybe decade!).
Congratulations! I salute you! - I hereby call to anyone who bought a laptop without operating system on it or with only Linux on it to tell his/her story in this mailing list. I also call every one who encounter a refusal from stores to sell a laptop without an operating system on it also to tell here his/her story. I also call every blogger/twitter/facebook fan on earth , who is (even a really little bit of) an Open Source oriented, to post a link to this news item with a short explanation and a salute. The fight has only begun!
