"Speaking at OpenSource World, a Dell executive deflated Microsoft's
enthusiasm for making a case out of the number of Linux netbooks
returned by unhappy customers.


Todd Finch, Dell senior product marketing manager, said the number of
Linux returns are approximately the same as those for Windows netbooks.
He categorized the matter of returns as a "non-issue".

"They are making something of nothing," he said of Microsoft's claims.
Finch appeared to be referring to Dell's own netbook sale"s.
