Hi

The question is whether, in the future, you may have no choice.


Surely if I continue as I do, and buy PC components to build my own
computers, the motherboard will be provided with whatever is needed?

Don't know about laptops though. Any possibility of another antitrust
case in the making?

Its still a free market out there. There will always be free machines,
like RMS using a Lemote laptop, though one may no longer be able to
install any Microsoft products on it.

God, I'm all broken up about that.
