Dell: Microsoft warnings haven't hurt Linux uptake
This is all FUD and here is why. The numbers don't make sense to who is growing faster. You have linux, only 1 of 2 servers have been sold so that's 50% growth. With Windows and the millions of servers out there and being sold, if they sell another million boxes thats only 25% growth. Michael Dell can fudge the numbers all he wants but most of us won't be fooled. The only ones who will believe that nonsense are the linux fanboys despite me proving them wrong.

Are they (Linux PCs) going to sell a lot? Absolutely not.

You don't need to be a chief marketing officer to figure that one out. Linux just doesn't have any strong points going for it that people would need to use it on a server or desktop. If the linux fanboys would let it die out the world would be a better place.
