Why does Fujitsu say "due to ... licensing and other prohibition 
circumstances ..."  that they cannot support Linux? Is this another
case of Microsoft running interference?

Dear Fujitsu Lifebook owner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

unfortunately due to support, licensing and other prohibition 
circumstances, Linux won't be on our systems, now or in the future.

There isn't support for many devices used for the notebook.

Jonathan, should you have any further questions or concerns regarding 
this issue, please reply back to this email and refer to call detail 
number 4041866085.

In order for us to properly assist you, please remember to include the 
serial number for your Lifebook in all correspondence with us.

Thank you for your time and patronage.  We value all our customers and 
look forward to helping you now and in the future.

Sincerely,

Chris C.
