You can write an article, but the fact of the matter is that Dell sells 99.9% Windows PCs for a living. They could not replace that with Linux tomorrow, without finding that Linux was totally and wholly inadequate for that size of crowd (and computer skill level). Their support systems would collapse under the weight of calls about "hardware faults" that were really ACPI-driver bugs, and "I can't play MP3s".
