Michael Dell on Supporting Linux

Michael Dell, chairman of Dell Inc. — and Richard Kind's long lost twin brother ;-) — on selling and offering support for Linux:

We love Linux, and we're doing our best to support the Linux community. We see lots of opportunity there. If the Linux desktops could converge at their cores, such a common platform would make it easier to support. Or, if there was a leading or highly preferred version that a majority of users would want, we'd preload it.
