The only Linux versions my wife could find in the last two months in the US were lagging in the hardware configuration (3-cell battery or power-hungry CPU)... so she went with an XP version and installed Linux on it, so she is counted wrong here.Posted on Nov 3, 09:09
30% for Linux? Wow!Considering there's no Linux campaign as for Mac/Windows as well as fear of the unknown, this is phenomenal news.
Your local store doesn't want Linux because they sell $99-150 protection plans for Windows machines.
