We're a blip, but if even all of the 100k votes on the
dellideastorm.com site in the last few weeks for Linux systems bought
two a year, that'd be <1% of the Windows volume.  Doesn't mean we
shouldn't try, but it is an uphill battle.

I agree with our stance of 100% Free drivers, and our limited
exception for binary firmware.
