I walked into Best Buy and noticed they literally have NO Linux notebooks available (unless you count the Mac Systems … which are kinda like linux…) anyhow – I asked a few representatives about Linux – and each basically told me the same thing.

“Linux Sucks”

“No one uses Linux any more – its not secure…”

“Are you serious – you should not pay attention to those people who say linux is safer than windows – don’t believe the hype its all the marketing dollars from folks who are jealous against Microsoft”

“Linux won’t work with that iPhone you have in your hand… your best option is Windows 7 It will work better than even the mac stuff over there…   They don’t let me sell that stuff – in fact no one here can – except 1 guy… that’s because he is the newest on the toten poll.”

Linux is the cause of most every virus infection in the world – did you know that all of our Windows machines come with anti-virus – try getting that with a linux machine…

I asked repeatedly about Linux machines – and i was steered towards Windows every time.  Amazingly – I could not find 1 linux machine in any of their stores…

I wonder if there is something more sinister with all their Anti-Linux Marketing – but the Anti-Mac marketing was horrible – especially when they have the Mac’s sitting in the store !

This reminds me about Clif Guy’s Best rather Worst Buy Experience.
