How can you attempt to get distribution for this scheme? Every Jose, Babatunde, and Akhmat who owns a corner store in the 3rd world will soon find out that just one single linux OS+app CD being passed around their town will end their Microsoft OS business.
I can purchase upwards of 100,000 used dell office pc's and have them delivered to any port in the world in less than 2 weeks. At an avg cost of about $45 per machine delivered. I'll throw in Ubuntu CD's for free.
MS most have lost out to Google in hiring the new crop of MBAs or something.
My guess is they will have some type of subscription service for maintenance.
Which is not uncommon at all in the industry.
