I don't know what the current situation is for Dell, but a couple of years ago I worked at a company that sold laptops like this, mostly targeted towards businesses but ocasionally catering to regular users. The moment they saw a cheaper option of the same laptop (no OS pre-installed) they went for that and then came bitching the same day that their computer wouldn't boot.
I imagine Dell must suffer from the same problem on their online stores.

- takluyver 14y agoThat's more or less what they did when they were selling Ubuntu laptops before. It seems that despite the warning, enough people unwittingly bought one to cause headaches for Dell. I imagine their margins are thin enough that even a few returns will get a manager frowning.
