About a year ago, Dell made an important move. Pushed by thousands of comments in its IdeaStorm website, the company started offering Ubuntu preloaded on a small selection of its machines. Initially only a US-based program, but later on, some European countries followed. However, criticism was not absent; buyers complained the machines were hard to find on Dell's website and that Dell did not do enough to promote sales of the Ubuntu machines. Today, Dell has commented on the whole Dell-Ubuntu marriage.

Make sure that when you buy a Dell computer you don't buy one with XP or Vista or any other version of Windows on it and then just overwrite it with Linux. If you do that, Microsoft gets money. Why should they get money if you aren't going to be using Windows? It's like paying Chevy when you bought a Ford.
