Hi all,<br>
Seems that Dell is insiting on shipping a Windows licence with every
laptop they sell. They will apparently let Ubuntu be an option on
their more expensive Latitude models, but not on the Vostro (we were
looking at the 3350 for the video sources, and a more powerful 3750
for DV switch). The sales team cannot remove this option, and
insist it is "free" (of course, licence price is included in the
base price of the unit). Humph. They don't even know about "Windows
Refund" and EULA rejection.<br>
<br>
Hmmm. Frustrating.<br>
