Awesome! I'm glad she's enjoying it. Oh, I just happened to think of this too. One of the stores I worked at took me a while before I convinced them to sell Linux. The reason? They were making fistfulls of money on people bringing in machines with busted copies of windows, viruses, spyware, people needing new antivirus programs, etc. IE, they were getting rich off of Microsoft's busted OS. Interestingly enough though, once they agreed to sell Linux boxes, they're getting twice the business they were before, because the people returning are buying a second, third and fourth PC, upgrading old ones to Linux, recommending friends and family and more.

He's actually making more money now selling Linux machines than he ever was before selling and supporting Windows only! Now ain't that a kick in the teeth for the oh so great Microsoft.
