It's true enough in England.  For example in a country where hardly 
anyone is properly trained on IT and the local PC store which might 
be PC World (for example) which is hated by a lot of people for it's 
incompetence is shifting pallet loads of EeePCs for about £250 to 
£300 each.  Not quite sure what that is in Oz dollars... about $514 
to $617 I think...

It's very unusual for this kind of retail chain to shift large piles 
of EeePCs with Linux installed.  They are trying to move XP versions 
off the shelf but that doesn't seem to work too well :)
