“Lenovo is willing to invest all kinds of resources into
mitigating Windows’ deficiencies, and tailoring its hardware to
hobble along in step with Windows. And yet Linux is too hard:“”Since the market seems to be asking for more, we announced a
ThinkPad T61 with a Linux preload a few weeks ago. Other than a few
developers and hobbyists, I don’t expect us to really sell
all that many. There’s no value proposition for it. Yeah, you’ll
avoid the Microsoft tax, but if you’re a business your IT
shop will spend far more in support costs, lost user productivity,
and sleepless nights.””
