About a 'typical' (?)(UK) consumer- we asked a painter/decorator to give a quote for some house decorating today. Over coffee and initial business he heard of my interest in open source software. He said he had just bought a sony laptop which disappointed him because it had come with vista. A possibly typical new vista user, totally non technical, but very receptive to 1) finding out or discovering there is an alternative to vista 2) finding a friend (or family member) who will install a dual boot system -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
