Why would you offer the same OS as your competitor?
Think man, think. Unless Canonical wanted to become the Microsoft of Linux/FOSS on the Desktop (and look how well that worked out for Microsoft), it wouldn't make sense for Dell and HP to offer the same OS and still go through the same hardware-compatibility changes as desktop computers which host WinXP or WinVista.
