Information that notebook to Linux back in four times more often than notebook with the Windows operating system, nothing more than another myth.

Todd Finch (Todd Finch), Senior Product Marketing Manager of Dell, told a world conference Open Source World, that this myth allegedly distributed by Microsoft and has nothing to do with reality. He reported that the frequency of return notebook under Linux, and the frequency of return notebook under Windows is similar, i.e., statements about Microsoft for Linux notebook untrue.

The company Microsoft has some problems with notebook. The largest producer of software claims that notebooks are not a threat, but at the same time he knows that they have a significant impact on sales in related fields. Microsoft is trying to convince (even, one might say, to force) Dell and other manufacturers to produce notebook more expensive than the model for Linux and Windows XP. From the viewpoint of Microsoft, notebook for Windows 7 or Windows Vista (if it will work for them) is much better.

However, the Dell is in the hands of data, and she knows how much notebook sale, and how many returned. So Microsoft will have to revamp the company's myth of the "unreliable Linux", or even completely waived.
