CompUSA /used to/ sell Linux and Star Office. I haven't seen it lately. Also, Wal-mart has the no-OS or Linux PCs. I don't know how the sales are doing. Other countries sell Linux-based PCs. Again, I don't know much about them. This is what I believe in: Windows+OSS -> Windows+OSS+Linux -> OSS+Linux Sadly, for now, I believe most people would gladly pay the $200 for a pre-installed, "authentic" copy or the most recent version of Windows.
