PEOPLE DON"T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT LINUX!!!!!!!
How long will it take for this fact to sink into your thick skull?
Dell is finding out the hard way.
And why is it so typical for the Linux version of the same laptop/

Hmmmmm?
As for Thinkpads exploding, IBM deserves what it gets by selling that

Just like Mattel they will go down the tubes.
And just like Linux, you get what you (don't) pay for..........
