Linux is gaining ground fast. Believe it?

| In my area ASUS just started replacing Windows laptop stickers with: made for 
| Red Flag Linux! Although Ubuntu is much better- from what I can see ASUS 
| laptops no longer say (for Windows) here in China! Incredible. This is the 
| first gradual (at least partial) step I believe. However they aren't 
| installing Linux just yet. Vista is a flop and there is a strong open source 
| undercurrent here that even the (sheep like) laptop sellers can't catch.
