My question, too. I've got Linux on my Dell laptop, but I still had to read a lot of the article to figure out if my laptop had the RCE. I wish they'd put "Windows" in the article headline, but I guess "market forces" prevent them from doing that. I am a firm Free Market person, but this does inconvenience me personally.
Sadly. It disappoints me so much that linux hasn't been able to crack Windows dominance on desktop/laptop. I was sure that as more people became computer "literate", they'd shift to linux or bsd in droves. Boy was I wrong.
It wouldn't have stopped Dell from creating a support assistant app for Linux to preload if they cared. In fact Linux being the land of NIH and non portability between distros basically requires Dell create a manager to sort out drivers and installs for everyone.
davidw asked the original question. I suspect his response was not to challenge the market share but to clarify why he asked. I don't think it's a non sequitur.
