where is your store?
Dietrich,
As the owner of a Retail Walk-In Point of Sale
I am sure you offer your customers an array of
choices in operating systems, and absorb the
cost of the employees who install this software
and run the support desks. Other retailers
choose not to absorb this expense.

The fact is that if enough consumers want
something there will be a place for them to buy
it. If nobody wants it then retailers will not
stock the product. Windows w/o media player and
bacon flavored ice-cream could be just as
popular as any shade of Linux, but you never
see them on the shelf for sale.
