"Of course, Mr. Dell also uses no fewer than four other high-end
systems. Each of these is running Windows."

Maybe that's why he is reluctant to commit to preinstall Linux more than

This is likely the problem with getting news from a tabloid. Important
details magically get left out, which you only find out about after
reading the original article.

Obviously Mr. Dell is a boring fellow and not a PC Gamer.

Heh.

Saying that though. Hasn't Michael decided to go back and "sort it

Perhaps we'll see Dell Laptops running Elive or Metisse before long.

I can certainly see Mr. Dell thinking that MS and their "take our OS
and install it on all your systems - or pay more you twat" as being a
bit of a "throw down the gauntlet".
