Ouch!

Excerpt:
"Demand for Linux systems is such that some retailers are selling out.Last year, for instance, Wal-Mart for a time couldn't fulfill ordersfor Everex's $199 gPC.
What's behind the growing interest in open source computing,long the preserve of self-styled computer geeks? Linux's increasingpopularity among mainstream PC users may in part reflect a backlashagainst Microsoft. The company's new Windows Vista OS has failed tocapture users' hearts and minds, let alone their wallets."

I guess Linux advocates should be thankful to Microsoft for Windows Vista.
