A huge market - for about a week before MS adjust their european and american discounts to take this into account. With luck we may see reasonably priced 'pre used' linux laptops being shipped over here in droves.http://url.drogon.net/0i "Canonical and Dell are teaming up to sell computers with Ubuntu preinstalled at stores in China. The program, which could help improve the mainstream visibility of the Linux-based operating system, will span 220 retail locations. According to a statement that Canonical posted this morning on its official blog, the products will be set up with marketing materials that tout the virtues of the Ubuntu platform. Retail staff will also be trained to explain the products to consumers." China must be a huge market potential for Canonical......So the best of luck to them... Roly :-)
