Oh What a Year

| In less than a month, offering Linux was one of the most requested and highly
| voted ideas. So, we launched a survey to find out what distribution of Linux
| our customers wanted most.
|
| During the spring you continued to deliver great ideas, and we listened. From
| the conversations it was obvious that we should make Windows XP available
| again on several customer PC systems. Then began the open source revolution,
| and we announced that Dell would begin to offer Ubuntu on select consumer
| systems in the U.S. This was just the first of many open source announcements
| (Linux PCs worldwide and Ubuntu on XPS M1330).
