a vendor ships what the crowd demands. they will ship you dual-booting
SuSE and NT on a laptop if you pay them. in any case the main issue is
stability and support. as posted, they do infact ship tweaked special
kernels (but all the patches are ofcourse free). Larry has donated
countless kernel patches already. e.g. remember the days you needed to
tell LILO "mem=128M" because above 64 megs were not detected? Larry
fixed that one... it took over a year to be accepted by the kernel folks
but it surely did end up in there :-)
