You mean the software by Novell? The American company that will receive money for every Linux laptop that Lenovo ships?

An American company making money on software designed by a Finnish programmer on harware from ChiCom sells?

Careful, his brain will go into a "Blue Screen of Death"(tm) and his Masters in Redmond will have to "" or power off and back on.

That's how he'd see it, although the truth is more like: "An American company making money on software started by a Finish programmer, with major submissions from American programmers, and currently maintained by that Finnish programmer in his status as a legal resident alien in the United States."

As far as hardware coming from foreign sources, you'll be hard-pressed to find a PC these days that even has 50% American parts. I wonder if he buys AMD chips, since they come from Germany.
