   In their stores?  I don't think so.  As far as I know, it was web sales   
   only.   
      
   And we know how much Windows malware as affected online sales.  After   
   surging, they are stagnant.  They are stagnant because people now fear   
   to go online to make purchases, after the massive problems caused by   
   Microsoft's client operating systems.
