-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
Did we (Ubuntu, Canonical) just join the Novell-Microsoft partnership indirectly? By accident? If Dell is going into that much-dreaded deal (according to this[1], it indeed is), and if Canonical is in partnership with Dell (through the sale of Ubuntu-installed Dell systems), I think we just partnered up with Microsoft in making their FUD of "Linux is stealing from us" much more credible. I am no developer, and maybe I am a little too fanatic to say that I wouldn't want to see Ubuntu on a Dell system if Dell is going to use Ubuntu to actually help Microsoft "conquer the world" :) But, were Dell's plans known to any of you (including, and most importantly those working for Canonical) prior the Dell-Canonical partnership? What might the implications of this be for the community? I knew that nothing is perfect, but this seems too fishy... Thanks.
