I've done business with TigerDirect in the past, but recently they've

to make your feelings known to them also. Note, I realize many (most?)
of you aren't anti-Microsoft (unlike myself), but are rather
pro-Debian, but the banner just seems -- wrong, somehow, for
freedom-loving folks. I'm probably over-reacting (and hopefully this
message won't get me in a bunch of killfiles), but it just seems like
I should make you folks aware of this.
I interpret it as being aimed at Windows users, encouraging them to
spend extra for Windows XP instead of copying some old version of
Windows from a friend. As a Debian user I don't care what version of
Windows they recommend. If they recommended Redhat, then I'd be
annoyed.
