Instead of having, uh, sending e-mails, or
1:09:05
writing to news groups on the Internet
1:09:07
and waiting several days for the answers sometimes
1:09:10
it's easy to come here and find other people
1:09:14
who might know about your problem
1:09:15
and may be able to help you
1:09:18
And hopefully within a few hours
1:09:19
you have your machine installed
1:09:22
Originally I wanted to it install on
uh, my larger laptop
1:09:27
and so I just did a search on the net
1:09:29
and found where there were resources to get help
1:09:34
And um, I'm here today
1:09:36
cause I'm trying to put Linux on
this little guy right here.
1:09:41
just a Toshiba Libretto
1:09:43
It's not a easiest thing in the world to do
1:09:47
because it's a weird piece of hardware, so...
1:09:50
Any chairs around here?
1:10:06
I think that Department of Justice case
1:10:08
has made people aware of the fact that
1:10:11
you should at least look for alternatives to Microsoft.
1:10:14
and maybe Microsoft isn't the American dream after all
1:10:19
and that kind of shifting perception
1:10:23
you can very clearly see
1:10:25
that people just took Microsoft for granted
1:10:31
and maybe they're still buying Microsoft but at least
1:10:34
they're kind of more aware of the issue these days
1:10:37
Microsoft actually uses Linux as defense
1:10:40
They used Linux to ground a claim
1:10:42
that they don't have a monopoly
1:10:43
because Linux could essentially
1:10:47
push them off their catbird seat at any time.
1:10:49
It was a very ingenious argument,
totally specious
1:10:53
because it didn't
1:10:55
do anything to answer the charge
1:10:57
that they had previously engaged in
1:10:59
bullying and various anti-competitive practices.
