Micro Center isn't a happy home for Linux (NewsForge)
[Posted April 17, 2006 by ris]
Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier looks
for a Linspire PC at Micro Center. "Last November, Linspire
issued a press release announcing that Micro Center would be devoting floor
space and staff to desktop Linux. I decided to take a trip to my local
Micro Center this week to see how that initiative was going. Unfortunately,
the answer is not so well. According to the release, Micro Center
customers should be able to "try and buy several desktop and laptop
computers pre-installed with Linspire Linux." Further, "new sections will
put desktop Linux software and products in high-traffic areas of the store,
giving Linux products a significant amount of retail space and boosting
visibility of Linux within each store.""
