Well, I was also offered Compaq x86 with Solaris. I really don't think
they are so silly as to enter catholic marriage with any OS and refuse all
others. They'll take anything that sells. If Linux will sell good -
they'll support Linux (as many h/w vendors chose to do, when they saw
that it can add them revenue).
Certainly, no one expects them to support Linux on altruistic values. But
when they hear "oh well, so Linux won't run on your improved Alpha?
Then I go buy at your competitors'", they'll adjust themselves. If they
don't - they won't. The rest is on Linux community.
