07/05/07		 Uh, they do.
At least with my E1505N.

07/05/07		 Oh, and furthermore, I wonder if they shouldn't for environmental reasons.

07/08/07		 What would be on This disk a Recovery Disk? Why ship it with the computer that is just wasting disks why don't you just order them when you need them? what is the point of wasting disks like that......sorry i am demoting this...

Any update on how the review went?

It should have been a pretty quick review; since Dell's been doing exactly what the Idea proposes ever since the first week that they started shipping Ubuntu Dells.

I'd very much like an update what issues this Review process encountered making the idea take so long to get another update.
