Adam kinda got the point I was trying to make. If someone asked me to 
advocate Linux the fact it was available for free would be way down the 
list. It is a superb OS and thats why I use it and I would continue to 
do so even if I had to pay for it.

What I object to in the BBC report is that in my mind the inference to 
Linux being used to keep the costs down would make many people feel this 
was a inferior product to say a Windows CE device.

Then again maybe I am 'the glass is half empty' type of person :-)
