Smart move showing your support for Dell by using an Acer notebook.

You do know that there is added cost - and value - because Dell can't / won't install junkware on Dell Linux PCs?

Are you saying that Dell gets kick back from bloatware companies?

You think they put it on because AOL is so great???

Whatever the "kick back" is, it can't be more than the cost of Windows Vista!!!

The OEMs are the only ones with enough power to pressure the chip vendors to release their documentation!
Vendors: we don't want your source code and we don't want NDAs. All we want is the complete documentation of your hardware so we can build our own stable and maintainable opensource drivers!
If Dell wants to let its customers satisfied with its new Linux PCs offering, it MUST make vendors provide full and free (both in the sense of freedom - i.e. not under NDA - and in the sense of price) documentation. The rest (hardware support and opensource drivers) will come along.
Cast your vote for free hardware documentation! Dell's Linux PCs offering will be completely useless without proper hardware support...

I would buy it anyway... I would much rather pay to support Ubuntu than to pay Microsoft for an OS I am never going to use.

Yeah? Would you pay a premium for it? I've never used Ubuntu before, but the interface looks way better than Windows.

Give compelling reasons for people to choose Linux (such as price) and they will.
I did.

Indeed, they really have to drop the price of the computers when there's no Window's on it... but i swear that they already said they're gonna do this...

Do a price comparison of the FreeDOS machines vs the Vista computer your results will blow your mind!

On average, comparably configured Ubuntu systems will be about $50 less than Windows systems.

What about the no-OS system?
Forgot on those FreeDOS systems I can configure them (equal hardware) so the Vista one is $8 cheaper.

Dear dell_admin1,
About your most recent comment before I posted this one:
Please do not raise the prices of Windows systems just so that the Linux ones cost "less."
About thebittersea's idea:
Please remove the picture. It has defamatory material against Microsoft, and the Terms of Use forbid defamatory and offensive material.
