There has been a growing trend for resale and refurb computer shops to install Linux on computers that would otherwise be sold with no OS. What would be a real big boost to Linux is if manufacturers sold Windows installed machines as a dual boot with Linux. If that happened, maybe it could get the EU off of Microsoft's back.

Walmart could have done for Linux what AOL did for the internet. I'm getting cold sweats thinking about all these folks that are disabling UAC running as root because it's more convenient.
