Actually that was a USA only phenomenon, I never saw Chromebooks live in Europe.

Here in Germany, some chain stores do have a few of them at their little corner being ignored by everyone.

It's also perhaps that Germans are vary before an OS which is an internet machine and comes from a company where main revenue is ad business.

I wasn't 100% so I had a quick look. Here's a blog post from 2012 with the Samsung/ARM Chromebook shown as the top seller in laptops in the UK (you have to scroll right down to the bottom).

You're right though, it wasn't 2014, it was 2012.
