But that's not the criterion we use, is it?
Or should we stop talking about Thinkpad x60 and x200, because they are
often used for running a proprietary BIOS, and a proprietary operating
system on top of it?
Isn't it the fact that they *can* be used to run Free Software enough of
a reason to talk about these computers, as well as this computer
emulator that now is Free Software, and the virtual machine emulator
Gnash that has always been Free Software, etc?
