However, I still object to the advertisement leading consumers to believe they are getting valuable software for free when that same software is essentially a free product.<BR/>Why not just give the purchaser a flash drive with the installation files on it already. The cost of the drive can be included in the purchase price of the hardware.<BR/>Advert could read : So-and-so PC comes with a 2GB flashdrive pre-loaded with open-source software.<BR/><BR/>This just seems so much more honest!Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746749741564784380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245194844211616999.post-79905911957279855412008-10-17T13:49:00.000+02:002008-10-17T13:49:00.000+02:00You do have the cost of South African bandwidth to...You do have the cost of South African bandwidth to download the opensource software though, so it's not 100% free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
