A few weeks back Dell invited ideas from the world at large about what it should put on sale - in other words, what did the so-called 'community' want? It turned out that the 'community' wanted PCs installed with GNU/Linux. But the company has done nothing afterwards. Now, we have a staunch defence of Dell's position by Mark Shuttleworth, the proprietor of Canonical which owns the Ubuntu project.

I thought business of that magnitude had venture capital or risk capital which they could throw at a project such as this.
I dont see the reason for the stalling,even if they dont want to pre-install linux just make it an option on the drop down menu when you configuring your system on the website.
Thats a win win for them and the customer.What sells , sells, what doesn't , doesn't , rather than pre-install units then the demand isn't there then to say "we told you so".
