XXX recommends Microsoft ® Windows ® XP Professional

Erm..., what's with all these vendors repeating this same line verbatim, minus the vendor name? :wtf:

Is this due to some pressure from MS or what? If not, and this is a statement against Windows XP Home, why are all these statements identical? :wtf:

I just find it rather amusing, not criticizing it because I'm a Linux zealot (allegedly).

Its easier(and cheaper!) to copy verbatim the marketing slogans of a multi-billion dollar company's product that they have a marketting department larger than some of the OEMs than to reseach and make a similar marketing slogan.
