Well I went to the small business side of their Australian website
[0]. I searched around and found that every single machine in the laptop
section (I didn't look at netbooks) was windows. I also found that
HP's site seemed to offer far less customisation of the machine than
Dell. Obviously their sales models are different.
I also searched for Linux and every search seemed to direct to Dell US.

I suspect that mine will not be a Dell or a HP.

[0] HP's website is abysmal; it makes the pretty rancid Dell site look
like the site of some hot new web 2.99 startup.
