This is actually not much of a problem if it is good bundlings. Such as a decent appstore... and Ubuntu already have a semi-decent appstore... and noone would complain much about a preinstalled WoW client and so on... not that such exist for Linux yet...
Make OEM:s able to share some of the profits from the software that can be purchased within Ubuntu, and that may be payment enough.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
