You think Microsoft is going to “punish” its largest OEM because it sells 2% of its computers with Linux? Also do you think Linux users are going to Best Buy looking for computers? Even if they did, do you think the average Best Buy employee is going to know how to sell Linux or that Best Buy is going to go through the trouble of training them? Apple couldn’t get resellers to learn Macs well enough to sell them and that was there motivation to open dedicated Apple Stores and stores within a store.
