联想不欲支持LINUX

Computer maker Lenovo will not install or support the Linux operating system on any of its PCs, including ThinkPads and a series of new notebooks, the company said this week. The company is clearly positioning itself as an exclusive partner of Microsoft, several weeks after the companies announced they were "reaffirming" global market development and cooperation agreements. "We will not have models available for Linux, and we do not have custom order, either," said Frank Kardonski, Lenovo's worldwide product manager for Lenovo 3000 offerings. "What you see is what you get. And at this point, it's Windows."

What is Linux?

Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.

It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6.

Although originally developed first for 32-bit x86-based PCs (386 or higher), today Linux also runs on (at least) the Compaq Alpha AXP, Sun SPARC and UltraSPARC, Motorola 68000, PowerPC, ARM, Hitachi SuperH, IBM S/390, MIPS, HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64, DEC VAX, AMD x86-64, AXIS CRIS, and Renesas M32R architectures.

Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit architectures as long as they have a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a port of the GNU C compiler (gcc) (part of The GNU Compiler Collection, GCC). Linux has also been ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU, although functionality is then obviously somewhat limited. See the µClinux project for more info.

so if you want to install linux on your computer, without any .....

不过这句话是从哪里来的？

正常。联想实际上是微软所谓的 "Trusted Computing" 计划的支持者之一。

只能抵制联想了, 虽然我也不想这么做。

其实如果联想要是想把 thinkpad 装上 gnu/linux  那是想也不敢想的，没实力呀
你看看 redhat 为100美元机器弄的 os ，弄了多长时间，在想想联想的本本什么时候有
thinkpad 的那么多好用的系统软件了，要它去为 gnu/linux 重写，不是要杀人了嘛。
如果机器运行更慢了怎么办，联想也不会去优化。精简。
redhat 自己弄都不好弄，联想要弄，那不要等到2028年了。除非联想在另请高人。
可是他会吗？
从happy linux 也可看出联想的方向的。
弄了三个版本，就 stop 了。
