Question : Does SCAN sell OEM versions of Windows? Because their prices are
too cheap to be true?
AFAIK, SCAN sells OEM versions of just about anything. It's not the
first time I buy something (at an incredible price) only to open the
cardboard box and find a huge notice "Only to be sold with a new PC" or
"Not to be sold separately". Whether or not this is legal, I don't know.

Part of the problem is that Maltese people are used to using copied
software. So:
1) There really is no price advantage for them if they switch to Linux
(its's free anyway)
2) They're not used to paying for software - so they won't buy Cedega,
which enables you to run some really good Windows games on Linux
Many people seem to think that Linux tried to take over the world and
failed. This, of course, is not the case. Linux never tried to take over
the world - we just want to be heard as a sane alternative to Windows.

They expect Linux to be the same as Windows, from the GUI downwards..
Then you have the people who don't know anything about their system. A
girl
once told me her hard drive had 512 mb... (and her computer is fairly
recent,
so she was mistaking RAM for hard disk space)...
And given that a large proportion of us teenagers just use the pc for
games...this gives Linux a large disadvantage.. I have switched to open
source games (just finished gl-117), and I love them, but I doubt my
friends
will!
Wine definitely needs to improve in this regard...
