Dell Ships Ubuntu 9.04 Systems Ahead of Windows 7 Launch

,----[ Quotex ]
| Dellâs U.S. website has started offering Ubuntu 9.04 on a Mini 10V and Inspiron 
| 15N laptop. The move comes less than two months before Microsoftâs Windows 7 
| launch â essentially reinforcing Dellâs commitment to Ubuntu in some targeted 
| markets. But will Dell pre-load Ubuntu 9.04 on a desktop PC? Hereâs some 
| analysis.

| Has Dell made some errors in the way it markets Ubuntu systems? Yes. Is the
| company committed to introducing more systems (including desktop PCs) with
| Ubuntu? Here again, the answer is yes.

Dell Vouches for Quality of Linux Netbooks

,----[ Quote ]
| A PC World story, apparently covering the same event, reports that Finch
| revealed that in a few weeks Dell will offer Linux OS upgrades to Ubuntu
| 9.04. PC World also reports that Finch said Dell is looking into
| manufacturing ARM-based netbooks and "smartbooks". Finally, Finch was said to
| have revealed that "in certain quarters" close to a third of all Dell netbook
| shipments are pre-loaded with Linux.
