Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks.
Talinom writes "ZDNet has an article sure to raise the hackles of any self-respecting geek. They report that housewives buying small laptops like the Asus EE are causing Linux usage for that demographic to spike. A reporter for Tech-On states that 'Retailers and contract manufacturers in Taiwan say that novice PC users there, like students and housewives, tend to buy the Linux version of the Eee PC701, while geeks go for Windows XP.'"
MMM.. Milfs on linux.. I think we may have spawned a whole new genre of geeky pr0n. Personally I'll wait for "I_banged_my_friends_sister_while_she_recompiled_her_kernel.mpg". :)
Not only did I run Linux, but I am one of those people who actually paid for the CD, at a Best Buy even. I had to compile the Linux kernel for a school assignment. I didn't have broadband at home and they seemed to have a problem with people taking the university's bandwidth up high for a long time. I'm not running Linux anymore and not a housewife anymore, but still in the running for MILF or at least... geeky porn...
