UK retailer pulls Linux netbooks from stores
LOL!! And linux gets another punch square in the face! How much more abuse can linux take before it just throws in the towel and admits defeat? Lets look at the facts here, linux has not gained any ground and is losing it very quickly as evidenced by this article. The people have spoken, they do not want linux. It makes for a terrible user experience when you have to recompile all your applications to get them to run. The disappointing segfaults and kernel panics probably helped in making the decision to pull linux from the shelves as well.

Poor Linus, he must be sitting in a corner crying right now.
