If you walk into a BestBuy this week you may spot some new software peeking out from the shelves. Yes, Ubuntu is now available as a spiffy boxed set in stores and on-line.

The reason mac sales were languishing had little to do with the lack of a store, and everything to do with Gil Amelio. Hell, the reason they are doing great now has less to do with the store then it has to do with the iPod/iTunes, iMac, and OSX that Jobs brought with him when he came back to the company.
Apple stores are just a big ad venue, people come in for an iPod and are blasted with a face full of pure apple in all its brushed glory.
Went in to best buy a few weeks ago to pick up a cheap (800$) laptop for the woman, and the sales guy was actually talking alot of smack about vista. I don't think there will be as much resistance by the sales guys as you seem to think.
