I suspect it'll just annoy store employees who'll have to take them off
the shelves. If something like this had to be done it'd probably be more
productive (and professional, and courteous) to ask the store nicely if
you could put a stack of free CDs somewhere near the Vista boxes. That'd
also be a good way to educate store owners of Ubuntu and FOSS. Who
knows, they might like the philosophy and get on board.

I wonder how much profit stores make on a copy of Vista. If they only
make $5 per box, they might want to start burning saleable Linux distros
to CD and selling the CDs for $5. They probably wouldn't consider the
idea after having to remove a bunch of dodgy looking Ubuntu CDs from the
Vista shelf though.
