People buying computers from this chain are not experts

Personally, I see this as one of Linux's biggest problems
PA-ITGuy | 08/03/04

At least there is a choice!
crocd | 08/03/04

On that
PA-ITGuy | 08/03/04

Configuration is easy
crocd | 08/03/04

The Linux people alway think that everyone is as knowledgable as them
balsover | 08/03/04

But not easily though

Nope, just stating the reality of the situation.

Nope

And how many people can install an OS?
B.O.F.H. | 08/03/04

Most anyone can install an OS today

Microsoft might want to re-think thumbing their nose at Europeans.
DonnieBoy | 08/03/04

I think they are better off striping it off
zijiang | 08/03/04

You forget that OEMs decide how to ship the computers.
