Their website is located on https://www.czechcomputer.cz, but I don't
know much about their I18N efforts. Despite all their alleged M$ ties
(at least that's what I've been told by one of my friends who used to be
an insider) you can find quite a few clean/FreeDOS/GNU machines among
their offerings and you can also have them assemble custom machine from
ordered parts for an additional fee - there's a check for that right in
the order form and you can also instruct them how to place individual
components and/or partition the hard drive (I'm not sure it's of any
good since anyone capable of issuing such instructions would probably
prefer to do that stuff himself, but it certainly doesn't cause any
harm).

Bug description:
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

1. Visit a local PC store.

What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
