less is more

From the thin-clients-are-back dept. we have the Neuf Box. Isn't it interesting that the entire offer is geared towards the consumer experience? Calls to the support line are free (with a three minute response time)! By designing the appliance on GNU/Linux they hope to avoid 80% of customer problems. This is the year that GNU/Linux makes significant advances over Windows on the desktop.

Do you suppose that you get Java with that?

Similarly it's worth noting that the black turtleneck has convinced EMI that DRM is passé.

Seems that there is a trend for Freedom being good for business. Vivre la liberté!

NOTE on submitting comments: The Roller software we use here at Sun is quite aggressive about which comments it likes. Please be patient if your comment which includes HTML is not displayed immediately. I will ensure it gets published the next time I check e-mail.

Merci shamaz! Le français ne pose aucun problème. Since Firefox is on the list it seems like it would be nice to have the Java Plug-in as well.
