I can say the same thing about Linux. Linux vendors want to make the kids addicted to Linux so that they don't get to know Windows & it's enviroment.
Here is the thing, u guys are acting like Windows is evil for doing charity, going to colleges & giving info/knowledge to students about Windows platform, & when Linux & FOSS does the same thing it is considered good
You talk about ethical business, Microsoft has equal rights like Linux to go to any college & advertise there product. Why do u guys get irked when MS organises a seminar in a College & gives free educational license of there product & u consisde it bad, but when FOSS does it, it is good.

I really hope the flash based PC / Lappy manufacturers turn down the offer and go with Linux / Open source. The low cost PC / Lappy is meant for poor people / students for whom Oopen source / Linux is best suited. Pelase MS, stop this kinda support.

Wrong...MS has equal right to support there product on this machine. It is the customar who is going to chose whether to use Windows or Linux on XO
