said by karlmarx:Sure, Intel makes more money, but that's not necessarily the best COMMON interest. That's the problem with the megacorps. They are always about 'self interest' over the needs of the people.
Getting a computer at the lowest price running linux goes against everything the megacorps stand for. They are WORKING to MAINTAIN their 'effective monopoly' position, and anything that works against their goal, is by definition, a threat.
The world would be a much better place if the interests of the people were more important that the interests of the megacorps. You see it every day, in every story, from AT&T filtering to usage caps. Those policies are NOT in the best public interest, but only in the interest of the coke snorting, whore screwing, corrupt and EVIL megacorp executives.
OK KarlMarx, we'll listen to your rant on 21st century American Capitalism...
