It's possible to eventually reach the "Open-Source PCs" on the international (USA) site, but the UK site is predictably Vista all over. Cue the usual "nobody bought them" moaning from Dell, inevitably caused by the usual "beware of the leopard" placement strategy, influenced as usual by the vendor's "strategic partnership" with Microsoft. That, and the "ooh Microsoft, Apple, big company!" attitude pervasive in the UK amongst the punters.
