New TurboLinux Release Number One OS in Japan
Outsells Windows 98, Macintosh OS and Other Linux Packages in Retail
Stores
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 1999--TurboLinux, the leader in
high-performance Linux,
today announced that its newly released TurboLinux Workstation J 4.0
product was the best selling operating
system in Japan, beating Microsoft Windows 98 and all other Linux
operating systems in retail sales.
In results released by Business Computer News, a market research company
that analyzed sales at over 200 major
computer stores throughout Japan, TurboLinux J 4.0 outsold every other
individual OS product in the Japanese
retail channel in its first week, including Windows 98 and other
commercial Linux packages.
``TurboLinux continues to consolidate its dominant position in the Pacific
Rim, and the success of our TurboLinux J 4.0 product is indicative
of our commitment to being a leading provider of high-quality Linux
solutions,'' said Cliff Miller, president and CEO of TurboLinux.
The new TurboLinux J 4.0, launched the first week of July, gathered an
impressive 24.09% market share, outstripping Windows 98 (9.15%),
Macintosh OS 8.5 J (10.23%) as well as other commercial Linux
distributions by a resounding margin, according to Business Computer News.
In addition to the impressive sales totals for its first week, TurboLinux
J 4.0 recently received a rare five-star rating in a review from PC
Computing Japan, the publication's highest possible ``extremely
outstanding'' rating.
While the combined sales of all Windows 98 products including upgrades
(see below) topped TurboLinux J 4.0 sales, the numbers clearly
highlight TurboLinux's impressive presence and acceptance rates in the
Japanese OS market.
