Windows 7 – d(^.^d)
The Japanese Man behind the counter seems weary of Linus (and possibly his possey), but at the same time appears happy at the prospect of a potential sale.
In the end, Linus does NOT buy a copy of Windows 7 (shocking eh?).

Windows 7 Launch Party
Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you… the worst party ever!
At first glance, it would seem that each of the people in the video represent the following:
- Nerdy White Guy – he represents Linux / OSX / et cetera users
- Elderly Woman – she symbolizes people who are still using Windows XP (also those reluctant to make the switch to Vista)
- Mother – represents the average uninformed homemaker (Man or Woman) who uses their computer for strictly web surfing/photo browsing
- Tall Black Guy – the token minority (and to show that Windows 7 is for “everyone”)

Microsoft’s Training Campaign for Bestbuy Employees
So here’s the gist of the story:
Microsoft is offering Bestbuy employees an ExpertZone a retail-training course in how to sell Windows. In a thread on Overclock.net, user GodofGrunts has kindly uploaded some images of one of the course’s modules, “Linux vs. Windows 7.” The points Microsoft uses against Linux are either lies, or common misconceptions and have no concrete evidence backing them up.
Maybe Microsoft should train Bestbuy employees on how to properly manage a demo machine. When I was walking around the computer department, I came across this:
At least three employees walked by the machine while I was there and didn’t do anything.
