,----[ Quote ]
| In Germany, two of the top 10 best-selling laptops currently run Linux. What

| The popularity of Linux laptops in Germany suggests otherwise. The question
| remains, however: What accounts for the discrepancy? Does it make sense to
| suggest that Germans take a fundamentally different approach towards desktop
| usability compared to their American (or English, or French) counterparts?

| ago.

| For example, notebooks with Linux make up about 5.5% of the notebook market
| in Germany...
