[nzlug] Dell and Linux

[Simon Bridge]

Good greif - I figured there'd be a landslide to OSS after all the stuff
about vista. But 70% !!! Of course, Dell has courted linux before and
nothing came of it but their servers.

Perhaps that MS sales thing earlier has backfired?

Interesting statistics in the rest of the article. 9 in 10 desktops run
windows, 6% of users use linux and 6% use macs. But note the difference
between users and computers - otherwise the figures don't add up.
