Dell to offer more Linux PCs, Ubuntu's creator says
Dell will soon offer more personal computers that use the Linux operating system as opposed to Microsoft Windows, said the founder of a company that offers Linux support services.
Mark Shuttleworth, who created the Ubuntu version of Linux and founded Canonical to provide support for it, said that Dell is happy with the demand it has seen for Linux PCs, which Dell introduced in May.
Dell, the world's second-largest PC maker after Hewlett-Packard, now offers five consumer PCs that run Ubuntu Linux.

Woo!
It was a great move; distributing Ubuntu.
I've been running it for some months now, and it's great 
*Thumbs up to Dell*

If you were just starting out with your first PC and your PC was using Linux, then you would learn it and be happy with it. Then when you tried to work on a Windows PC, you probably wouldn't like it since it is so different. The same applies to Windows users. Linux is definitely different than Windows, so if you are used to using Windows, then by switching to Linux will take a learning curve...
Linux is much more secure and stable than Windows and Linux is free. So if you are running a Linux PC, then you will NEVER have to pay for an OS update. You can simply download and install the latest version and be good to go. The same isn't true for Windows PCs. M$ is already talking about the next OS "update" scheduled for 2010 and you can be sure that to upgrade, you will have to pay dearly for it. And other than cosmetic changes, Viena will mostly be a security fix of Vista as was all previous Windows versions of their predecessors. No one should have to pay for it but they will....
