Hi,<br>
<br>
Is their reasonable interest withing this community for portable devices<br>
(tablets, netbooks, notebooks and laptops) without the usual bundled<br>
proprietary software?<br>
<br>
I ask because I am working on a potential arrangement whereby I will be<br>
able to get some product into NZ without any bundled OS licenses, and<br>
I'm trying to work out whether I can do so at prices and in volumes that<br>
would make this a worthwhile.<br>

Ian Beardslee (on NZOSS) has managed to get FreeDOS laptops via Ascent,<br>

Hi Jethro,<br>
<br>
Yes, and that's good! I've had another supplier say they can provide most HP "business models" as well with FreeDOS as the OS too, but in both cases it's 4 to 6 weeks wait. I'm hoping for less then 7 day turn around...</blockquote>
