Ian, the WSJ article neglects to mention that the internet service
providers pay the $400 towards the "free" PC - in return for the
customer's 3 year commitment to subscribe to the ISP. At least
that's the impression I got when I bought one at Micro Center.
An instant $400 was deducted from the price and I had to sign
up for MSN then and there.

Seems to me the hardware suppliers don't pay for this.
