"Dell Users Want Linux"

So how come Dell stopped selling desktop Linux PC's a few years back due to low demand then?
And if there is such a "huge" demand for Linux desktops how come Linux desktop sales are so low ?
Walmart(the world's biggest retailer by far) has been selling Linux desktops for years, nd still Linux desktop sales continue to be insignificant.

As years go bye, things do sometimes change.

^^^^^^^^^^And if there is such a "huge" demand for Linux desktops how come Linux desktop sales are so low ?^^^^^^^^^^

Huge is your word, not mine. I don't remember seeing it in any of the links either. It may be the #1 demand, but that doesn't mean that it's by any means huge.

^^^^^^^^^^Walmart(the world's biggest retailer by far) has been selling Linux desktops for years, nd still Linux desktop sales continue to be insignificant.^^^^^^^^^

Realistically speaking, so is Apple's. a 2-5% share isn't exactly the kind of thing that dreams are made of.
