NewEgg: Installing Linux Breaks Laptop

Rick Zeman writes "According to the normally geek-friendly online store Newegg , installing Linux Mint is tantamount to breaking your new Lenovo laptop. Is it the purchaser's fault for not restoring the laptop to its original state of Windows-y goodness, or is NewEgg being too dogmatic trying to enforce a term that doesn't seem to exist?"

    Windows itself should never be trusted. Anything of value should be done on UNIX, whether that Linux, BSD, or OSX.
