Hi,

 

I have been using computers for years, as have many of hp and other company's customer's. We have seen windows rise to its peek and are now looking for a

new operating system to put our interest into. Mac has been feeding on this energy and gaining rapidly in the market's. Most of us would love to get a mac but

the hard where is so expensive and so customized. Many people don't realize there is a escape from both the clogged, over burdened, and buggy windows.

and the super expensive alternative of Mac. Many people are so fed up with windows and can afford mac that this is the perfect time to introduce Linux

Ubuntu operating system to the markets. With the power of just the minimal vista computer you can do four times as much as vista and have cheep conventional

hard where as well. If hp jumps in this field they could easily sell a $400 laptop with ubuntu. If these laptops got into store's and also got on the media.

The thousands of people who really need a new computer but can't afford a computer that is as slow as vista or as expensive as mac would have a chance to.

Find the alternative to all the troubles they have with computers. Hp is a hard where company. If it would be willing to take a the bold move in the direction

that many of us have been looking for. They really could take a huge percentage of the laptop and desktop market.

 

I hope hp reads this idea and seriously considers taking advantage of this opening. So as customers we have the capability of that third choice which so far has

not commercially installed and available in stores and markets around the US.

 

Many people want a new computer. Would like something new and innovative, at the same time being cheep and very reliable. Ubuntu has made this readily

available. We as customers would like to see it on the markets. If hp will provide it. We will buy it.

As luck would have it, HP has released a netbook which uses a customised GUI over Ubuntu. HP calls it Mobile Internet(MI) and it has most of the features and software Ubuntu uses. The terminal is disabled though. Starting price is $280. you can check it out HERE.

BTW, it's "hardware", not "hard where".
