I had a lengthy and unsatisfactory exchange with Dell over this issue. The last e-mail seemed to be saying that: a) there is very little demand and b) they are happy to keep the hardware warrant if I buy a Windows device and put Ubuntu on it. They will not consider supplying a machine with no OS, and no Windows reg. fee. The e-mail implied though, that if enough people were to write in in the same vein as I, the team might re-consider. So - I think the ball's in your court. Get loads of people to contact Dell asking if their Dell xyz can be supplied loaded with Ubuntu and how much. Imply that you will decide on another make if they cannot help. This is exactly what I said, and what I will most likely do! e-mail: raj_mo...@dell.com with a copy to: Michael Dell <mich...@dell.com> (He's the CEO). This actually makes a reply happen instead of a delete. (Wonder if Michael actually reads it?).
