For the Record: I never said I thought Dell would release Linux on a significant portion of their line, I never said they should, and I never said if I was a decision maker at Dell I would endorse such a plan, I said:
"The authors of this article had pretty unreasonable expectations of Dell given that Dell is a private business and have every right to piss on a pengo daily. The whole thing amounts to some sales people who were not well trained and some guys thinking Dell has a responsibility to provide a product they do not see a market demand for."
You have said:
"Dell made it almost impossible for them to buy a Linux system from them."
One is an opinion that supports Dell it whatever action they decide is best for their Business the other is a bald face lie trying to lie about what Dell does.. I offered the opinion suporting a private company you just brought the lie..
You can keep whining if you want, but like I already posted even Steven Vaughn Nichols has finally admitted his self created rumor was BS. Time for you to finally accept it, too.

"Last Thursday, when I wrote about Dell's new Linux desktop, was one of the most frustrating days of my professional life. My eWEEK colleague John Spooner and I tried our best to get Dell to confess that they really had released an honest-to-God Linux desktop. But Dell simply wouldn't do it."
