All the large scale enterprise IT providers have this.... HPUX, AIX from IBM, Solaris from SUN, which only work with their own RISC based CPU&#39;s. At the end of the day, for stability you need ecosystem control. Problem with Linux &amp; Windows is that they are designed for *everyone* so you lose stability.</font></font></font></div>

However when you purchase the Hp, it can run the popular Osés without any limitations whatsoever. You may not find the most upto date drivers etc but you can get it to work. Not Operating system look-alikes but the actual ones. </div>
