No Recall for Carphone Warehouse Freebie Laptops

"Contrary to reports by a number of less reputable tech news sources, CW is not "recalling" the devices at all. A spokesman told the INQ, "If you got a laptop with Ubuntu installed, you knew you were getting a laptop with Ubuntu installed."

"Rumours that users who were "confused" by the Open Source OS would be able to wander into the Carphone Warehouse and get a copy of Windows XP installed free of charge were rigorously denied by our contact."
