Linux startup says HP and Dell's recycling program is a scam

In some of the most shameless self-promotion we've seen in a while, the co-founder of a tiny Linux startup called Symbio Technologies is saying that HP and Dell's recently announced PC recycling programs are a scam to sell more PCs and put smaller companies like themselves out of business. Symbio sells software that lets you reuse old PCs by turning them into thin-clients (sorta like dumb terminals) that can be used for checking email and running basic applications,
and if people are having their PCs recycled rather than reused it's bad for them. We would sympathize with their plight, except that their vitriol is a bit disingenuous since if they don't end up getting recycled most people just end up tossing their old PCs in the trash. It's not like most schools are dying for lots of crappy old PCs to be dumped on their doorstep.
