Dell: “One third of our netbooks are sold with Linux”

Although some manufacturers like MSI a few months ago claimed that the rate of return of netbooks with Linux pre-installed was much greater than that of models with Windows XP, Dell has indicated that their Linux netbooks to succeed in the market.

In fact according to the statements of its leaders, a third of the sales of its Dell Inspiron Mini 9 are the models with Linux preinstalled the highest rate for all Linux computers that Dell sells for quite some time, and higher than other manufacturers.

The success of netbooks from Dell with Linux preinstalled seems obvious if we ignore the statements of Jay Pinkert, a Dell executive has stated that “one third of our supply of the Mini 9 ships with Linux, which is clearly above the standard success rate of other systems that offer Linux. We have done a good job explaining to people what is Linux. ”

Indeed, this may be the secret of success in the case of Dell, whose rates of return of netbooks with Linux are very low, similar to Windows XP. MSI managers have long claimed that if the rate was higher for Linux netbooks, but it is also true that this was due to misinformation of the people, who was with teams that operated in a manner not expected.

Educating users is the key to success for selling netbooks, and other equipment-with Linux, and precisely this market is that is allowing this alternative to Windows win some more traction.
