Canonical does. For example there are around 300 different lines of Dell machines which are certified to run Ubuntu. We have a lab in China where machines are tested and approved. It's up to the OEM which ones they sell in what region though. Some countries have very significant sales of Ubuntu machines, whereas others do not. >I'd be a potential customer.

Tell the vendor and let them know the availability of Ubuntu on a new machine is a significant factor in your buying decision.
