News Linux sales soar in Japan, Windows sales slump

From the Inquirer:

A SURVEY BY IDC Japan said that Linux licensing agreements in the country soared by 37.5% during 2003.

The report, in today's Japan Times, said that sales of Windows only grew by half a per cent during the same period.

But the same report suggests that limited availability of application software for Linux could hamper its growth.

That's your lot, but here's the link anyway.
