Lenovo and eCS?
I sent an e-mai to Lenovo asking if they were willing to sell a Thinkpad with eCS preinstalled. The below is their reply.

It would be neat if alternative operating systems were given as choices when ordering a computer.

As a choice? I don't see why not...
I'd like, on any model, the option of...
No OS
XP Home
XP Pro
eComStation
Some Linux distro (support would be tricky, though)
This in contrast to the current system where certain type-models are tied to certain OSes. If a certain type-model that comes with XP Home is on sale, yet the XP Pro version of that type-model isn't, and you need Pro, you're screwed.

No Support Okay With Me!
I am more concerned about having to pay for an operating system that I won't be using. There is support for OS/2 and eCS online (ie; http://www.os2ecs.org , http://www.os2world.com , http://www.os2.org , http://www.os2warp.be and other places).

Well, the most important option would be (in addition to the current XP choices - yet adding the ability to pick your XP version on any type-model) no operating system. On any type-model.

plus choose other software?
It would not only be nice to be able to chose the operating system (eComStation, Windows, Linux, etc) but also be able to chose which software you want installed. I bought a notebook computer with WinXP-HE os plus software; some of which I do not use.
