No Demand for Linux in the UK?

eldavojohn writes "If you're a Linux user in the UK looking for a Linux box, you're not going to get it from Acer. The computer maker has started releasing Linux installed machines in Singapore but cited 'no demand' as a reason for not releasing the same computer with Linux installed in the UK. From the ZDNet article: 'Before the launch of the Acer Aspire in Singapore, there had been no suggestion that any major manufacturer other than Dell was even considering releasing Ubuntu-based products. However, Acer president Gianfranco Lanci did tell Financial Times Deutschland that "the whole [PC] industry is disappointed with Windows Vista". Lanci claimed that Microsoft's new operating system had not boosted PC sales, due to concerns over its stability and overall maturity.'"

Okay, I have been mulling over trying to get a push going here at /. to see if they could put all anonymous coward posts below everyone's threshold so that they just don't show up unless a person specifically wants them to because there's just so many posts by people who won't register that are just total bull hockey.

And now you come along and post this as anonymous coward...

Which leaves me only one thing to say:

LONG LIVE ANONYMOUS COWARDS!!!! (hilarious post, bud)
