This excerpt came from Linux Magazine's Report From The Front.The headline read:

"Microsoft Starts"Rat on your customers"Campaign.

"Not content with warning OEMs that shipping PCs without OSs could lead to piracy,MS is now offering incentives that encourage OEMs to report customers buying"naked"PCs.Reporting "naked"PCs ups the ante,as incentives range from M$ game CDs to grill and chair combos"FYI

It seems Microsoft wants more money??? WHY???WHY??? WHY???
Hmmmm.. maybe because they are spending all of their money in the X-box (its probably going to fail) and programmers that are working out all of the bugs on the XP series of progs.!

So M$ has your number for buying a "naked" PC. What can they possibly do about it?
