Dunno about that, but it's very encouraging, isn't it?
Assuming this is not a hoax, this is MS teaching BestBuy (Asda?) employees
what to say when customers ask for netbooks?
- so presumably there are some Linux netbooks still for sale in the U.S.,
and customers are choosing those with Windows so universally that the sales
staff at BestBuy need to be instructed on what to say so that the customers
who don't choose Linux don't choose Linux.... or something?
It *must* be a hoax.... mustn't it?
