Microsoft Loses to Linux in Thailand Struggle (LinuxInsider)
Hate to reply on my own post but...
...there are changes. While most Linuxes are more expensive then Windows here (more CDs == more expensive, it's that simple) at least they are there to buy. RedHat, SuSe, Mandrake, Debian, Lindows - your choice. Lindows is least expensive, Debian most expensive (number of CDs, remember?), but it's there. So Linux is expanding here. Just not very fast. And yes, games are important. Also important "1C book-keeping" (does not work with WINE since WINE does not support neither Win9X's "HASP Emulator" not WinNT's "HASP Emulator"), Garant Database (law database - the same problems with "HASP Emulator") and so on. All tools are Windows-only so far.
