That's the core and the point. There's no point in trying to discredit what people (MSI _or_ Dell) actually say after actually trying to sell Linux computers - it's not relevant to the subject on hand.
That's not the point. The whole thing is botched at the start. Why were these people buying linux netbooks over windows in the first place ? Did they just click/pick up on the cheapest option ? Was it the first one on the list ? Did they *want* linux ? Did they want to 'take a shot' at linux ? With all returns mixed into one category, you can't make ANY conclusion with regard to returns due to 'unfamiliarity and unwillingness to learn', just a subjective guesstimate at best.
