Neither have I read a single Tag line offered by the same. Infact, I&#39;m very tempted to start <u>advocating for Microsoft and Intel to completely lock down the hardware and software just as MAC</u>. Then our Open Source people can buy expensive MACs and also develop some of their own Open Hardware for a change. Goodbye Open Source! So far you&#39;ve had it easy but exploiting the X86 platform that was originally the PC. </div>


<div> </div><div>Gentlemen, I see the argument between Bentley and the popular Toyota. I also see the argument that both are &quot;motor-vehicles/automobiles&quot;. Please provide a link where Bentley is trying to compete with popular Toyota?  I can imagine Toyota trying to add features that would be common in a Bentley which makes sense. </div>


<div> </div><div>For those who say my arguments are flawed, I&#39;ve put you to the challenge of your promoting your favorite OSes and Systems. I&#39;m still waiting to read corrections. </div><div> </div><div>Rgds. :-)</div>
