That's one advantage Dell had over GW. GW had built up a reputation that if there's a problem come in and we'll fix it under warranty, then these motherboards hit and there was no way to keep up with volume.

Why is it, when this topic comes up, so many people that are on the side that says human centric global warming is a fact; tend to use the argument that anyone who does not agree with them is a right-wing gun toting SUV driving mentally crippled slack jawed idiot?
Experience.
Since very few people can become experts in ever field, we rely on other experts. Just as I do not expect my users to know much about how a Unix server works and they don't expect me to know much about how account management works, they do their job and I do mine. When the only climate scientists that argue against AGW are nut jobs and those that highlight them are gun toting right wing nuts, we extrapolate.
Of course there are exceptions. Some right wing nuts don't own any weapons and some drive sedans.
Dell tech support found that many people did not know what "Ubuntu" is when ordering their laptops. If you've ever worked a consumer helpdesk, this will not surprise you. Keeping the option available over the phone will improve the chance that people ordering Linux computers understand that Windows is not included.
Texas buys the most textbooks, and thus has undue influence on the industry.
Don't think that's entirely accurate. Texas buys a lot of text books and they buy the same ones for all the schools, so they may be the largest purchaser of a single volume.
California buys the most text books (has the largest population). California stating they won't buy any TX tainted text books is therefore a big deal.
Many years ago when I was in TX by population it was 4th or 5th. A bunch of people have moved there (plus abstinence only in place of sex ex), but CA still has them beat.

'food additives require premarket approval based on data demonstrating safety submitted to the agency' -- and caffeine is a food additive
Requiring premarket approval does not mean it is banned, just that you need approval. Before you market it.
