FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


The WeWantLinux.org survey shows a high level of interest in computers 
pre-loaded with GNU/Linux, even among non-Linux users.


The WeWantLinux.org survey site continues to gather data on consumer 
interest in computers pre-loaded with the GNU/Linux operating system. 
With nearly 1700 survey entries validated, the results show a high level 
of interest in Linux PCs across the board. The survey site will remain 
active for the forseeable future, but the interim results are worth noting.

The aggregate survey numbers represent 79 countries around the world. Just
under 59% of the survey participants live in the USA. Over 87% of the participants 
say they would consider purchasing a new computer with Linux pre-loaded. 
Looking at just the participants who identify themselves as non-Linux users, 
over 61% say they would consider purchasing such a machine. To query the
