The problem is then Microsoft would go after the vendors because they "would be encouraging piracy".<BR/>It has happened already, can't seem to find the article though.Tiago Marqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17432416139062131317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591550662921436436.post-45185954284874205702008-01-28T02:48:49.260Z2008-01-28T02:48:49.260ZIt's great news that a major distributor is going to offer Linux on new machines, but it's ridiculous that they would charge a premium to do so.<BR/><BR/>Don't they have to pay some kind of licensing fee when they sell a machine with Vista on it?<BR/><BR/>Maybe they could just start selling machines with <B>no</B> operating system on it... and we could choose for ourselves. That'd be nice.B.

Especially when they list the 6400n, in the US, with a lower price than the 6400. Same specs, both machines get discounts.<BR/>Just doesn't seem right.<BR/>Best regardsTiago Marqueshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17432416139062131317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591550662921436436.post-68002133823292755882008-01-26T16:28:26.755Z2008-01-26T16:28:26.755ZLooks like the Ubuntu machine is 75 quid cheaper, look at the List prices. I know that seems silly, but if you have a Dell coupon they override the built in discount when you use them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
