Xandros CEO Andreas Typaldos said his company's technical and marketing agreement with Microsoft will help increase Linux adoption rates because users will have access to improved technology and won't have to fear lawsuits from Redmond. "What's good for adoption rates is good for Linux," Typaldos said in an interview.

The webform to contact their customer service is here:
http://support.xandros.com/contact.php?contactname=shop
You don't need to supply the support code. If you choose to contact them, remember, sounding polite and reasonable is important if we want to be taken seriously.
I just sent this (hopefully) polite note:

Good Morning,
I am writing as a courtesy to inform you that I am contacting the supplier of many of the workstations that we use, Microtel, to request that they discontinue preloads of Xandros and offer Linspire, Ubuntu, or both.
I cannot ethically continue to buy machines with Xandros preloaded in light of your assisting Microsoft in their campaign to legitimize the idea of paying royalties to them to run OSS operating systems.
I am very disappointed with the poor judgement that your othewise excellent company has shown in this matter.
I do hope that some day we can do business again.
Sincerely,
Steve Bergman
