Here's what's funny about it:  DELL doesn't sell Mac systems.  Until
recently, it didn't really sell Linux systems, and, even today, the "market
share" of Linux is pretty small.  So, on DELL systems, Microsoft has
precious little competition.

And yet they still pay for that additional endorsement.

It's like Hadron paying DFS to say "DFS recommends believing Hadron's
posts."
