Today I saw this laptop in a computer store in Krakow, Poland. Notice anything different about it? Yes, it’s got Ubuntu preinstalled on it. I’ve read about many companies doing this but it is the first time I’ve seen it in a shop here. I managed to snap this photo on my camera phone so sorry about the quality!

Yeah i’ve read somewhere that asians and europeans prefer Linux, unfortunately we, (Americans, thanks to United States, we don’t know what our names is now), are obsessed with Windows.
