> From dell.com/ubuntu, it's pretty good: 10 things to know about
Ubuntu,

Yes. Still, the first thing purchasers read once landed on their Website is a 
despicable "Windows® . Life without WallsTM . Dell recommends Windows 7." in 
bold characters in a strategic position, right below the search field and the 
main menus, and above supportive links. Like screaming to your girlfriend: 
"Darling, you know I love you. It's just that I prefer to fuck someone else".

Not completely. I can see what you mean, most are available, indeed. I've 
searched for "ubuntu laptop" and "ubuntu", and got a full list of laptops and 
netbooks showing a humble Ubuntu®  Linux®  version 8.10, or, more frequently, 
just Ubuntu®  Linux® after a long list of Genuine Windows® Whatevers®. But 
when I select one of the results, and click on Tech Specs, Ubuntu happens to 
disappear magically. And have you actually tried to customise a machine? Some 
of those I've tried don't let you choose an OS other than Windows, and they 
are: Inspiron (14, and 10), New Inspiron Mini 10 (including 1012 and any 
variation of the mini series). Others stick to their promise, and they are: 
Vostro (1014, 1015, and v13), and Latitute (13 , 2100 and 2110). A good (half) 
step forward with respect to the UK (or even Italy), but still...
