I'm still throwing away copies of Windows. Recently I have ordered some Dimension 9200s from Small Business. All of these machines are running Ubuntu today without problem. They're being used to replace some PE400SCs that are starting to die. A 2GB quad core for $649 was too good a deal to pass up. It makes a great small server.

Please offer Ubuntu as a choice on all configurations where it works. I would have still paid $649 for the box and you could have kept the money you're sending to Microsoft.

    daniel_j, what about Australia? I have purchased some desktops recently because XP was an option (and because of the free advertising you got from offering ubuntu). Now I want a new ubuntu laptop. The old AMD 1.8ghz has served my wife well and now I want to get her a coloured inspiron. Pioneer computers in Australia offer an Ubuntu laptop option. Why can't Dell?

    @bsmmoney: That's an interesting that should probably be posted. If I buy a system where Dell bundles Windows but don't want it; perhaps they should let me donate it to someone who does want it.
