Star Dell: Linux Netbook High Return Rate 'Non-Issue'

Hardware, Embedded Systems 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 even that easy, you have to go to a special page to get the Linux offer. There you are told that Ubuntu is not Windows so your programs won't work.
It is like someone walking into a vegan restaurant with a big "WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MEAT" sign outside and complaining that there isn't any meat in the menu.
