Hold on Chris you have missed something here, like:

1. dse deliberately sourced this OS-less laptop to fill the obvious gap
in the marketplace caused by bundling.

2. they have put a lot of work into getting linux working on some of its
hardware "features"

3. They source an awful lot of linux drivers for their miscellaneous
hardware, put the drivers on their website, and often have a support
page on their website.

4. they are pressing and selling mandrake (and I think some others)
distros in their shops.
