    If enough people start asking about it then it might persuade big box stores to test the waters with a few Linux-based units or at least an unformated drive.

      Big Box stores want you to buy a product and leave. They want fewer skus that work out of the box. Windows sucks ass, but most of the time you end up with a functional, if shitty, PC.

      Also - Microsoft and Apple pay for floorspace at the big box stores. What Linux distro is gonna do that?
