not really surprising but then again i anticipate it being dropped fairly fast as well since in the end dell wont make the same kind of money on it and that is what they will consider.

It would be interesting to see how many of those people who voted for linux preinstalled actually buy it preinstalled,I bet a large percentage of those voters simply jumped on the bandwagon and have no intention of leaving mothers breast [windows]I personally didn't bump the vote for that reason,as much as I would like to try linux,I can't be sure that I would buy it preinstalled,not at least until a lot of other people had.
I think Dell should be commended for acting so fast on this and I hope it works out for them and everybody involved......but like Fidget,I have a certain amount of scepticism

I think the niche market for Linux is much bigger than people think, especially since the price of the laptop will be significantly lower without the Windows licensing.
