[dundee] M$-hoo bad for FOSS

[gordon dunlop]

You are right and this is how it happened from our undercover FOSS reporter.

Seemingly Michael Dell has got Ubuntu on his laptop, he went to party
in Switzerland over a week ago, it was held in Billy Boy's honour with
Bono and Tony Blair attending as well. It went like this:

Mikey - Hey Billy Boy seem my new, cool laptop with spinning cube.
Billy - Hey that's swell what is that?
Mikey - Ubuntu, an O.S. for human beings.
Billy - Can I buy the company?
Mikey - No it is Linux, but I could put it on your laptop.
Billy - Sure, but don't tell anyone. For human beings?, Steve can't have this.
Mikey - I will put a Windows Vista background on it and nobody will know.
Bono - Cool, can I make up a passionate song about this and give the
proceeds to Africa?
Mikey - Sure, Ubuntu is an African word and it rhymes with U2.
Tony - Can I give a talk about it for £100,000 and give the money to my wife?
Mikey - Yeah, as long as you mention Dell is shipping with this on our laptops.
Billy -  Please Mikey put it on now for me so I can play with it!
Mikey - Sure Bill, but this is supposed to be your party.
Billy - I don't care, I think I am in love.

These events cannot be verified without revealing the mystery identity
of the undercover FOSS reporter, just take my word for it.
