If they can start to lock up deals with PC makers, then that will be a start.

But as someone said, if they try to leverage their search and advertising with that free OS it's going to have a hard time getting past anti-trust. And they almost have to use it to gain exposure for their search and paid advertising since the OS is free.

Either way, I'm curious to see their free OS and what their strategy is.
