I went to it and I am going to give it to my grandkids.

Now, On topic, the 1%+ even seems low to me since I have seen industry
figures showing closer to 10% overall against M$ hefty 80%.
Whether that is at work, home, geeks, kids, overseas, or whatever is the
statistic I didn't trip over. Maybe 10% have it installed and 10% of
their kids visit. Linux is picking up steam as Windows shows more crack
in their (aero?) glass.
