[KSB] Bhaskar was traveling.
Besides, Bhaskar pays about the same (low) level of attention to Dell
(which continues to get Linux - see
http://www.thevarguy.com/2009/07/22/dell-no-longer-selling-ubuntu-linux-desktop-pcs/),
Microsoft (which keeps trying to put lipstick on a pig - see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/23/microsoft_hyperv_gpl_violation/)
and Apple.
If those who choose Microsoft are basically sheep, those who choose
Apple are chic sheep (basically sheep who want to look down on other
sheep)! [Quickly dons his bullet proof underwear... 8-) ]
