demonstrates how *no* OEM can ignore IPF and still hope to stay in the game
Could you elaborate on this point? I could see that it might demonstrate that someone attempting to grow marketshare for an enterprise class operating system should port the operating system to a large number of enterprise platforms, but how can one conclude anything about hardware OEM attention to IPF from this information? As an example, would it be fair to say that Dell very nearly ignores IPF while remaining arguably the most successful hardware OEM?
