Ok, then I don't understand. I'm back to:

"Do you want to buy from Dell, HP, Apple, ect. and get 0% Open Source 
and no chance of Open Source in the future"

What's your point? What do you mean by "get 0% open source"? What 
problem are you addressing with this. You last response was because 
intel builds stuff for people and doesn't share their customers plans 
with other customers. All those companies contribute to OSS though. So 
where is this 0% coming from?
