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.

They should also then, by that logic, return Windows machines because they cannot run the software in Ubuntu's repositories nor can they run software downloaded from here:
Hmmm no. That's not the logic he used. If I have a piece of software that runs on Windows, I expect it to work on my new machine.
Those repositories are light-years away from any user that has no idea what Linux is in the first place. They have the software (or know pieces of software) and if it doesn't work, they simply don't want to go repository hunting.
Understandable, in my opinion.
