I don't believe the figures until after they've been sold. The demand for Ubuntu is pretty much non-existent outside the technology enthusiast arena. Ubuntu is just not as polished as Windows either.

OEMs also know there's an easy way out if they don't sell - chuck windows on them and shift them out through clearance sales.

This is all marketoid speil from their marketing VP at the moment.
