I posted a few days ago about operating system choice in the retail PC market. Here's a little footnote to that observation: since the chimney collapse event, we've been dealing with insurers, loss adjusters, surveyors, and now the suppliers who replace damaged items.
In discussion about replacing a damaged laptop, I had the following exchange:
Supplier: "And what version of Windows was the laptop running, sir?"
RW: [momentary hesitation]
Supplier [prompting helpfully]: "Windows XP, Windows 98...?"
RW: "No, no... I understand the question. It wasn't running Windows; it was running Linux."
Supplier: "How do you spell that, sir?"

So nice to talk to an expert :-)
