“Now for the twist: Initially, Geek Central only
carried Windows XP-based Netbooks. But customer demand for
Linux-based Netbooks was overwhelming, according to Mike – a Geek
Central mate who gave The VAR Guy the scoop.“Within weeks of adding Linux Netbooks to Geek Central’s product
portfolio, the results were startling. Roughly one-third of the
Netbook sales involved Linux rather than Windows, according to The
VAR Guy’s local source.”
