Shopping in Romania

,----[ Quote ]
| I found a link to a retail establishment in Romania. The score:
| 
|     * PCs with that other OS: 136
|     * PCs with GNU/Linux: 42
|     * PCs with FreeDOS: 140
|     * PCs with MacOS: 6
| 
| You can argue that with such a high proportion of FreeDOS that many intend to 
| buy those machines to install a copy of that other OS illegally but schools 
| and businesses often install by copying legally and we know only a very small 
| proportion of humanity has the inclination to install an OS so I am betting 
| the distribution of the FreeDOS machines is something like the split between 
| that other OS and GNU/Linux, about 3:1. According to Trends.Google.com, 
| linux:windows was 2:3 in 2004 and 1:9 in 2011. I guess it pays to advertise.
