The sales projections were 2%. Very impressive. Most impressive.

Most people are resistant to change until it becomes the "in thing".

In 1981, IBM was the only game in town with Tandy and Apple way behind.
MS was nowhere to be found and look at them now.

Tell what to Dell. Dell are struggling for sales in Europe and need all they
can get in the Third World and beyond. Linux is cheaper and Ubuntu goes down
well with the natives. Its not secret. Don't get me wrong I like Ubuntu and
use it and like Dell and its computers but for you to use it as your
promotion is laughable.

He's obviously being paid by Ubuntu to troll MS newsgroups.

The fact that Dell is selling Ubuntu computers and nVidia is now
including Linux drivers with the graphics cards doesn't tell you something?
