I say YEAH!! :clap: and I think others Comp's. should follow their lead. What do you think? Although I installed, than four hours later uninstalled Ubuntu I would love to give it a go again. It was not Ubuntu but me. I'm just not educated enough to get it running properly.

Dell Breaks Rank
Dell's decision to ship Ubuntu Linux on some PCs, at first glance, looks like a radical break from longstanding partner Microsoft. But typically staid Dell has broken rank before, when business needs or customers demand it.
Dell and Microsoft would seem like two peas in a pod or two sides to a coin, for which destinies are intertwined. Even when other OEMs openly and actively courted non-Windows operating systems, Dell loyally stayed with Windows.
But Dell's loyalty was more about shrewd business maneuvering than any love for Microsoft. True to its sell-direct philosophy, Dell's first love—perhaps other than shareholders—is the customer. Microsoft rewarded Dell's loyalty with pricing and discounts the OEM passed onto customers and also used to competitive advantage.
