I think we can finally put a certain myth to rest that's been circling around the web for a while now. Microsoft often claimed that netbooks running Linux saw higher return rates than those running Windows, but according to Dell, this is utter nonsense.

Using your analogy, it's like walking into a restaurant, ordering something I've never had before, for example caviar, and then when the waiter brings it out, saying, "hey, what the hell, this isn't a steak!!"
It's not a matter of being intimately familiar with Linux or even having used/heard of it before, it's basic reading comprehension. If under the "Select My Operating System" screen, someone is to choose something other than Windows, don't expect to get Windows. As such it is my mistake for assuming consumers can do this properly!
