http://blog.canonical.com/2011/10/27/retail-stores-in-china/ That was from last year. Dell has stores in China that sell Ubuntu directly, where you can't get a retail Dell machine in the US today that has Ubuntu on it.[1] The MS representatives believe that the reason Ubuntu is big in China is because people are buying machines to pirate Windows. Unfortunately it's hard to prove that isn't the case (which is one of the reasons they argue it). So, in general, it's hard to say "how big" in this case, but definitely from a visibility perspective it's much larger than in the US. --Ted [1] Though that is hopefully changing: http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/campaigns/sputnik
