This explains why Tesco sells GNU/Linux machines (references below). Tesco
knows what it's like to use that other, proprietary 'O/S'.

Dell & Tesco bringing Linux to the masses - launching £299 Inspiron Z530 "Web
Browser" in October
,----[ Quote ]
| The Z530 is described by Tesco as a "Web Browser" rather than a Laptop, PC,
| portable computer or any of the more usual terms, so presumably Dell and
| Tesco are aiming it at the Eee PC end of the market, where people don't give
| a toss about the OS and just want something cheap to leave on the sofa for
| checking instant messages during the boring bits of TV.

Tesco reveals unannounced Dell 12in netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, we did wonder if Tesco's spec is a garbled reference not to a netbook
| but to an upcoming Dell MID. But the spec also mentions 1GB of RAM, a 40GB
| hard drive, "Ubunto Linux" (sic), dimensions extending to 30 x 30 x 17cm and
| a weight of 1.2kg, all of which are rather large for an MID.
