It seems Lenovo is being selective in which markets get Linux on its new range of IdeaPad netbooks. "People in most markets Lenovo serves, including Singapore, China and the UK, will be offered the company's new IdeaPad S10 with either Microsoft Windows XP or a Linux OS, but Australian and US computer buyers will only be offered Windows XP according to Lenovo."

That sentiment is basically true, but you can't demand what you've never heard of. Linux needs more publicity and exposure before demand will increase. Unfortunately, due to the non-commercial nature (which is good), Linux in general doesn't have any kind of conventional advertising (at least not in Australia), just word of mouth.
