"we concluded that customers always have the option of buying the systems and installing Ubuntu themselves, without those."
I can buy a computer from Dell with Windows on it and overwrite the HD with Ubuntu, but that's also sub-optimal. Adobe's Flash plugin is gratis; AFAIK, LinDVD is not however. As it is bundled with Dell's Ubuntu systems, have we not just started trading the 'Microsoft tax' for a different 'proprietary software tax'? Is that really any better in the long-run? Philosophically, how does this 'Dellbuntu' really differ from Linspire?
