Modern island life or a tale of simple countryfolk
I live on a small island, population ~ 450.
The local PC builder guy gives you the choice of installing Linux for £60* less than with Windows on new builds.
It works out cheaper to have a locally built machine than having to send a broken one away to be fixed.
(They tend to get smashed on the way back and it becomes an endless task)
Consequently most people here are running LInux. I only know of one Mac user and he got pwned not long ago!
(300 miles to get a Mac mended!)
I've seen a few ipads around, mostly for children. A neighbour just got one and promptly regretted it, her actual words were "It's crap!".
Personally, I run Kubuntu 12.04 with XP in a VM. I won't be buying any more Microsoft products.
Anon to stop Google et al. tracking me down.
