Yeah i’ve read somewhere that asians and europeans prefer Linux, unfortunately we, (Americans, thanks to United States, we don’t know what our names is now), are obsessed with Windows.

Great!
I was there around June this year (2008), did not see it yet, but this is great! One step forward again

It seems that when actually offered preloaded Linux with full backing from the OEM, customers prefer it to Windows.

One more store with Linux pre-installed! Even if it doesn’t sell dozens of these, many more will notice it and start asking about Linux.
