Amen. I'll go to Power PC or whatever other platform suits me. I mean, I prefer Intel because I have a lot of old hardware around that I use, but frankly now that Linux runs on the PPC I don't have a whole lot of reason to stay with a platform where I'll be stuck using Micro$oft crap.
I thought it was bad enough when I saw "Plug and Play." Then I saw the braindamage known as "Windows hardware" (i.e. modems without essential chips). Now this.
Maybe when/if I get a sizable amount of money in the near future I'll just move to something else. I don't know anymore.
