What you say doesn't contradict the quote. It seems to me like he's
talking about how strong of a tendency a given OS has towards
installation-rot, registry-rot, virii, spyware, and cruft.

Whereas you're talking about stability and desktop responsiveness for a
particular Dell. And without knowing more about your system (e.g. whether
its using proprietary drivers, whether its hardware generally complies
with the standards it claims to) I don't think its fair to assign blame or
generalize based on your instance.
