"When consumers did return Linux-based machines, it wasn't because of technical issues. He says that the problem was that people expected Windows, and then were bummed out to see they had something else."
Why would this be a surprise to users? I configured a Mini 10 on Dell's website and to get Linux pre-installed you have to click a "Customize with Ubuntu" button and then you have to review the OS choice again a couple of customization screens later. I mean, it should be pretty obvious what you're getting.
