Ubuntu on Dell!

A while ago I wrote about the possibility that Dell would be offering PCs with Linux pre-installed.

Today that came a step closer to reality with the announcement that Dell will be shipping Linux PCs in a few weeks. The best news of all is that they have chosen Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn)  as their distribution.

So which will you choose, a Windows PC with no software on it, or a cheaper Linux PC with everything the average user could need pre-installed? How long will it be before Microsoft are forced to bundle MS Office with Windows?

I love it! I had decided that my next computer would not have Windows pre-installed, but that basically meant I’d get a computer with nothing and install ubuntu myself. I wonder if anybody completely new to Linux will dare to get this option just for the price difference.

My new Dell laptop came with Vista. Suffice it to say, I see an OS uninstall in my very near future.
