	But sometimes a lot less rational. :-)

	Somebody mentioned that some of the thinkpads allow you to choose 
which operating system you want to run the first time you boot up the 
machine.  Does anybody know how the licensing works on that?  By allowing 
the user to choose which OS, they cannot know how many copies were sold, 
and thus how much to pay Microsoft.  The only solution I could think of 
would be to charge for both OS's, which seems a little expensive just to 
offer a choice.
