Anything that Microsoft has embraced in the past it has "extended" to its own advantage. Microsoft usurping the future is just what we don't need.

Microsoft needs to simply do business as it has done for the past 20 or so years and the slow demise of proprietary computing will take care of itself...

Microsoft began embracing the past a long time ago. In fact their empire depends on maintaining the status quo, I fully recommend they continue to work to that end.

Oddly... this seems to be how Asus went with the Eee ... one moment Linux, next moment some other obscure operating system from some podunk company in Redmond.

Let's hope that Microsoft keeps on trying to hold onto their empire of the past and eventually their walls crumble and the invaders pour in.

Speaking of Asus, I don't see Asus barebones systems anymore. Maybe some retailers decided to drop them and they are still available, or maybe Asus seen the light, believing that all computers are better with Windows.
