[Liverpool] Bestbuy's Linux training

[Andrew Williams]

Not sure if anyone has seen this already or not, but I think its a 
interesting nugget. 

Best Buy looks like they're training staff on Microsoft Windows and 
their related products, as part of the deal the staff get access to 
cheapo copies of Windows. One guy who is a Linux user decides to do the 
training and is a little dismayed at what it says. Well, you can read 
the rest for yourselves.

When Microsoft are spreading the FUD at retail level, how can Linux 
defend itself? Jo public is looking at the "experts" at retail stores to 
direct their purchases, we've already seen this happen with the fight 
over Linux vs. Windows netbooks.
