Windows Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

I'm quoting from the article you posted:

"Todd Finch, Dell senior product marketing manager, said the number of Linux returns are approximately the same as those for Windows netbooks.


He didn't say percentage. He said number. Spin it any way you like. The fact is that Linux netbooks are returned twice as much as Windows netbooks. LOL!
"

Pffft.

For every link you find where it was misreported, I can point to a hundred quotes that say otherwise.

"Not a problem".

"Not an issue".

"Same return rate for Linux as Windows".

LOL indeed.

My but you Windows supporters are getting desperate.

You're not going to convince me of anything until you start getting more reasonable. Making wild-assed claims without even the slightest amount of evidence isn't endearing anyone to your cause.


Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil ... where evil is tautologically defined defined as a bad word against Microsoft.

Sigh!

The three monkeys would be smarter than you, I'm afraid.

Look, you supplied the link! I can't help it if you failed to scrutinize the article carefully enough. Now you want to claim that your own supplied article was "misreported"? Tsk, tsk. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

"Not a problem".

"Not an issue".


Quoth the Dell sales manager to a roomful of Linux zealots. Did you actually expect him to claim that getting back twice as many Linux netbooks as Windows netbooks on a percentage basis was "success"? LMFAO!
