Dell Says High Linux Netbook Returns a "Non-Issue"

Michiel Roos notes that at this week's OpenSource World, a Dell executive deflated Microsoft's claims that Linux notebooks have return rates four or five times higher than Windows machines. "Todd Finch, Dell senior product marketing manager, said the number of Linux returns are approximately the same as those for Windows netbooks. He categorized the matter of returns as a 'non-issue.' 'They are making something of nothing,' he said of Microsoft's claims."

People who use Linux use it because they CHOOSE to. On the contrary most people who use Windows do so because they're forced to.

Bullshit. Consumers are not forced to use Windows, they make the choice. There are alturnatives, and nobody is holding a gun to their head. Statements like yours, obviously fanboyish, serve only to convince people that Linux geeks are out of touch fanatics.
