Best Buy is selling Ubuntu Linux

From Slashdot. Best Buy is now selling Ubuntu Linux. That's pretty cool .

It appears that Micro$oft may be loosing more market share than they care to acknowledge due to the flub known as Vista. I've used Ubuntu Linux for a while and I like it. It's easy to install, use and has a beautiful UI, especially if you decide to use Beryl. I think Ubuntu is a quality product that is probably ready for main stream, at least for people who expect their PC to take care of business but have no interest in games. I hope they do well. But I've posted a couple of times about Ubuntu before.

As far as Vista goes, hopefully Micro$oft get's their game together and fixes it's shortcomings. But I would be remiss to say I wouldn't be thrilled to see them loose a lot of their market share to Linux and Apple

Which of course means the likes of Ubuntu and Mac OSX can keep on improving in the meantime, further levelling the playing field.

Gravatar Image2 - I agree and it's a shame you can no longer purchase XP. Personally I think it'll do the Personal Computing market good to get more competition.
