I've read (and I think I checked when a family friend was after a new
laptop) that it's cheaper to buy a Dell Windows machine of the same
spec than to buy one of their Ubuntu machines.  Also, you can try for
the Windows tax refund.

So, that makes me wonder if Dell are either:-
a. market-testing the gullibility of Ubuntu users;
b. looking to say "well, demand wasn't as high as predicted" when they
accept the Microsoft shilling to become an exclusively Windows vendor.

Paranoid or experienced?
