My addtion to this: I know the store where this happened. Some months
ago, I went in
there looking for a real, honest to god hardware modem. When I found one
on their shelves, one of their salespeople came over and asked if I needed some
help. I said I was looking for a modem compatible with Linux. He said the one I had
picked up would probably work (it boasted Linux compatibility right on the box), then
added "by the way, would you like to sign up for MSN Internet acsess?"
Asking someone explicitly looking for Linux-compatible hardware if they
would like to give Microsoft some money greatly amuses me.
