This is all a nightmare indicating dell$ is losing money
head over tails and they are just sucking money out of
every customer and contract to keep itself afloat.

How does dell$ make a commercial PC?
At the moment it can't without illegal overcharging of micoshaft customers:
1. First, they get micoshaft to illegally overcharge micoshaft customers.
2. Micoshaft then illegally allocate that overcharged money
to dell$ customers instead of micoshaft customers.
3. Then dell$ installs the monopoloy OS.
4. Then dell$ goes cap in hand to micoshaft for money back hander
5. Then micoshaft illegally pays dell$ monopoly antitrust back hander
compatible money.
6. Then micoshaft and dell$ cover up their inefficent money
thiefing operation from EU regulators by making all the
payments outside the EU.
7. There! Bob is your uncle, and your pista pre-loaded machine is sold
illegally at below cost prices by dell$ in the EU subsidised by
overcharged micoshaft customers paying dell$ in USA.
If dell$ now tries to make and sell to its customers
a commercially produced PC with Linux,
then dell$ does not get micoshaft back hander that was
originally overcharged to micoshaft customers.
Thus for dell$ the price of having to sell a commercially
produced Linux PC is same as windopz PC, plus the cost of
the back hander they need to receive by overcharged micoshaft customer.
This is why dell$ linux PCs are charged to dell$ customers
at a higher price than windopz PCs.
EU regulators? One wonders how they can sleep after living off the fat
of tax payers money.
