I agree on his one. For example in Portugal it's almost impossible to buy a computer with linux or no OS, you simply can't.
Last time I asked about it and told them that if they sent the computer to the manufactor or if they contacted them they would sell it to me without OS, the seller simply told me that he can't sell the computer like that and that the pc + os are a package and there's no way to separate them.
Recently I saw like 2 asus eeepc with ubuntu at shops, but that's it. Weak, small computers that almost nobody will buy and then they will tell the excuse "ohh, computers with linux don't sell". Simply stupid, I mean too damn smart for microsoft.
Monopoly rules and still exists. Most people won't buy stuff from amazon or any other online shop, specially a computer that's something expensive and that if they have problems they can't simply go to the shop for maintenance.
I think most people here live in a dream world when they say this kind of problem is solved.
Please stop thinking only about how you see the world ( hackers that dominate technology and internet, living in 1st world countries ) and think how normal, granny type users live and experience the world.
And I must laugh when people also say that ipad or mac computers are cheap enough for these users, seriously I don't know what to think...
And sorry, I know I may be ranting a little but this must be said.
