Dell: Linux netbook returns a "non-issue" (ZDNet)

Dell: Linux netbook returns a "non-issue" (ZDNet)
[Press] Posted Aug 13, 2009 18:14 UTC (Thu) by cook

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes covers comments on netbook returns by Dell's Todd Finch on a ZDNet blog. "According to uber-OEM Dell, the whole debate about Linux netbook returns is a “non-issue“. Speaking at OpenSource World, a Dell executive deflated Microsoft’s enthusiasm for making a case out of the number of Linux netbooks returned by unhappy customers. Todd Finch, Dell senior product marketing manager, said the number of Linux returns are approximately the same as those for Windows netbooks. He categorized the matter of returns as a “non-issue”. Finch went on to say that Microsoft “are making something of nothing”."
