Windows is such an offensive, defect-ridden pile of shit now that every PC maker should be blaming Microsoft for their inability to compete with the Neo. I bought my parents Asus laptops years ago, and can't wait to replace them with a Neo. Microsoft has spurned and scorned users. Now it's time for computer makers to push back and reject its shit. I'd love to see a consortium of computer makers come together to refine a Linux distro that's consumer-friendly enough to oust Windows and compete with Mac OS.

Dell has been pushing Linux for like 20 years? I don't remember which distro, probably fedora or ubuntu...

  It's an option for maybe 2 SKUs... hardly pushing anything.

    That you couldn't actual order; at least as a UK SME.

    I count 4 desktops and 11 laptops. Sorry, try harder next time.

  They have a very limited set of choices. I would have bought more if you were not too limited in term of choice in their inventory. At some point the XPS 13 dev edition was the almost perfect laptop. Then they ruined it with the following generations of it.

  I got an xps long time back that had the option to pay extra for ubuntu. I'm not going to pay to plug in a usb and I also get the joy of erasing a windows install from the face of this earth.

  That's cool, but they need to mount a marketing campaign to announce the arrival of a "new OS" to the everyday user. They need to go on the offensive against Microsoft and educate consumers.
