I think the only way we're going to see Linux begin to make a dent in Windows' huge market share is when storefront retailers (Staples, Future Shop, etc.) begin to push Linux systems. .

your first paragraph explaines exactly why the retail stores don't push it and won't push it. I hate to admite it but linux in the home PC world is a thing of the past due to bad markiting and no money backing it. sounds like the simular demise of OS2 warp which was hands down the best OS in the 90's

Linux is nothing more than hacker porn now, even in the comercial world it is being replaced by XP more and more to the point where it is getting hard to find people who realy know linux
