Linux netbook thieves ignore laptops
Even thieves don't want Vista
By Egan Orion: Wednesday, 27 August 2008, 12:08 PM
ELONEX WEBBOOKS that are preloaded with Ubuntu Linux and currently
featured at Carphone Warehouse in Bracknell, UK are apparently is such
high demand that thieving opportunists stole a display model.
The netbook display item was lifted from a shopping mall Carphone
Warehouse store in broad daylight by using bolt cutters to sever the
stranded wire tiedown.
Several larger laptop PCs preloaded with Microsoft Vista sitting in the
same shop display area were reportedly left unmolested in the heist.
As the individual who posted this news item on the Ubuntu UK mailing
list observed, "Even thieves don't want Vista." µ
