Ok, So since i did not see the data, i will call it a bluff. -1- Linux is different not difficult to use, ppl would use the latter to justify the replacement. Obviously, if someone acknowledged there ignorance, and inability to adapt to new (different) desktop setup, they would feel awkward and may not get their refund / replacement laptop . -2- Since a windows XP license costs like $100-$75 , and the price of the laptop is essentially the same whether you got it with (a Free) Linux or an (expensive ) Xp. And the concept of ppl is , the more it is (worth) the higher is the itemized $$ value compared to what is displayed on the price tag, the more desirable and (valuable) the product was. You can test this , you will find it accurate down to the dollar. -3- If the option was to have a cut down Vista instead of a seven year old XP, I am sure the data would have been very different. But Microsoft is not an idiot, the revived XP from the dead, and just for the net book for precisely this reason. -4- Remember the resistance of the markets to abandon windows 95-98 nt for the new XP and 2000 .... ppl do resist change on their desktop to the last man standing.
