We Want Linux!

More to the point, we want the PC-buying population to be able to see and try Linux-based PCs at their local PC retailers (eg., PC World, Best Buy, Officeworks, CompuSmart, CompUSA, Datapoint, Circuit City, Vobis, or even Wal-Mart). If you agree with us, or even if you don't, here's your chance to make your voice heard!

To date the only operating systems on display have been various versions of Microsoft Windows®...not because there aren't worthy alternatives available, but because (as the testimony from Microsoft's recent anti-trust trials have shown) Microsoft has gone to great lengths to prevent PC retailers and manufacturers from selling alternative operating systems. We feel this unnatural constraint of what should be a free market is wrong...that PC buyers, given a chance to see the alternatives, will make the best choice for their own needs. But until the PC buyer can actually see, feel, and "test-drive" a GNU/Linux-based PC they will not be able to make that choice.

The PC retailers are in the business of serving the PC market's demands. However, they have limited shelf space and resources, so they must focus on offering what they know the market wants. They know that there is a demand for Microsoft Windows®-based PCs. They do not know if there is a demand for alternatives like GNU/Linux. That's where we come in.

We want to survey the computer-buying public to see if they would be interested in trying a Linux-based PC. We invite your participation regardless of the kind of computer you use now. We will then share this aggregate demographic information with the PC retailers, to demonstrate that level of interest. No personal information you enter here will ever leave this site, or be used to sell you anything! If the market wants to see a Linux-based PC in action at their local PC retailer, we hope the retailers will commit the resources necessary to do this. If they chose not to, then perhaps a local competitor will.
