Dell currently sells a lot of Linux computers, as you would expect since Linux servers are 12% of the entire server/mini/mainframe market by revenue.

Who said anything about "servers"?

Dell was not a passive victim of the monopoly; they actively participated in both building the power of that monopoly and in making themselves dependent upon it. No doubt they were drooling over all that hardware that would need to be upgraded for MS Vista. Too bad that customers figured out MS Vista is poison. Too bad Dell is still parasitically dependent upon renting the monopoly's wares.
