They do things the cheapest way they can find to get your money. I don't know why some folks want Linux to have mass appeal like MS, they don't expect this out of Macs. It is OK to have a niche market. Linux deserves consideration and commitment from its vendors, it's not a fad toy. When AOL did the CD in every magazine and mailbox campaign, it got really annoying. Linux in a cheap hardware situation and dumbed down (too user-friendly) version means customer dissatisfaction is certain. Yeah, I am not a big Wal-mart fan either.
