I don't know if you saw the link at the bottom of the OP, but Dell won't
disclose numbers. They did, however, say they are pleased with the numbers and
immediately afterwards, two more models were introduced with Linux options. I
think they keep their cards close to the chest because other OEMs are watching
with curiosity, treating Dell as a case study.
Many business that use Linux internally don't talk about it for similar
reasons.
