Hardware, Embedded Systems Good news for plurality advocates in general, and Linux fans in particular: during a press event, Dell has announced a shift in its Linux strategy, one that seems to contradict recent moves by competitors who are de-emphasizing Linux models: Windows and Linux models will be made available simultaniously.

In the past, Dell had expressed interest in selling OS X on their machines; Apple obviously won't let them do it, but Canonical is quite willing.

I seem to recall shortly before they switched to also offering AMD-based products, that Dell was chafing at being an all-Intel all-Microsoft business: Either partner could charge what they wished and Dell would be at their mercy... now Dell has its own distinctive operating system, and AMD systems.
