...most blatant mixed metaphore in a headline for 2008

collateral ubuntu damage ???

Could the Vista & ubuntu moves explain why Dell is going down the pooper. Bought a couple of PCs with Vista installed rather than the XP version I specifically asked for ... with the tech/sales support unable to answer some basic questions as "If I return the Vista medium can I get XP instead?" because many of my apps aren't running because of the new kernel modes (the Win200 compatibility mode did not help).

I guess people like me will end up buying white/beige boxes for enterprise use because the no support is not "badder" than useless support being paid for.

At least the word was used correctly!

Well done on the correct usage of "decimate"!

That implies Canada's head was just above the height of Dell's waist, and in close proximity. Yikes - that's a mental image too far for me
