Here is a quote from the article.

Quote
Best Buy employees preparing to sell Windows 7, assert that "Linux does not support many common applications and online services like iTunes, Zune, Quicken, Photoshop, and Office 2007."

Were you referring to Stalin there? If so, then I would like to point out that what M$ is doing is closer to fascism than communism.

Really unfortunate that Microsoft thinks it's necessary to have this type of training. I don't think Linux is cutting that much into them that it'd be necessary.

Best Buy sells Dell.

Dell offers Ubuntu.

Not saying you're wrong, but I'm sure that's what Microsoft wants...they'll tie it up in court as long as they can.
