Wasn't Gateway consindering making Linux an option a while back, or was
that IBM?   It may come down to without market demand, how much does IBM
pay a company to advertise they can have OS/2 on a machine, or SCO to
advert SCO as an option?  

In fact, other than companies like VA Research, I don't think I've ever
seen an OS other then 95/NT/3.1 advertised to come pre-installed, and
don't think I've ever seen one that said dual-boot.
