Linux Notebooks Selling Well On Amazon Germany
christian.einfeldt writes "The LinuxTech.net blog points out that Linux notebooks are currently selling quite well on Amazon's list in Germany. The blog includes screenshots showing the Linux Asus and Aspire notebooks in positions 2 and 4, respectively, on that list. These machines are not netbooks, but full notebooks, albeit on the moderate to low side regarding price and performance. That LinuxTech.net blog was dated 23 July 2009, and the Asus machine is still holding second place more than one day later, while the Acer machine slipped to fifth position, despite the volatile nature of Amazon bestseller lists. While these two data points are just snapshots in time, they are consistent with other data showing that Microsoft itself attributes some of its recent weak earnings to surging sales of low-end notebooks, as well as data showing that the Linux-powered and Unix-powered computers topped Amazon's sales charts in all categories for 2007. If there is to ever be a 'year of desktop (or laptop) Linux', it won't happen all at once, but will creep up in ways similar to what we are seeing now."
I would like to know how that was a 'Troll', can you even read?
Some people are only alive because it's against the law for me to hunt them down and kill them.
Being German, and having a good sense of humor, I would like to know how I'm flamebait and a Troll.

I tagged it as that in "the mysterious future" (although it's not called that anymore, it shows the time the story will appear to everyone).
:(
It's the best way to make tags "stick". Before it appears to everyone there's very little tagging going on, so basically any tag will show up as a "top tag", as soon as it hits the mainpage other people see the tag and tag it the same. Say for example it was tagged "linux, netbook, germany, godwinslaw, amazon, it, otherstuff" and one person tagged it "morekdawsoncrap", the tag wouldn't be popular enough to show up so that everyone else does the same.
KD will probably use his infinite-editor mod points to destroy my karma now though
it's fitting. he is by far the worse "editor" i've ever come across.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
Not really, people that are still focused on that just have their heads up their asses. I'm German, but damn, I've got a sense of humor.
What would happen if I said that even Russians make bad choices, or - God forbid - Americans make bad choices, does that get me banned?
Fuck off people, get a life.
NOW THAT'S A TROLL WITH FLAMEBAIT.

Now how was he 'Offtopic', that was damned funny.
