A week ago I blogged
http://limulus.wordpress.com/2007/04/26/ubuntu-next-week-you-will-see-two-big-announcements-one-of-which-will-probably-dominate-the-media/
about an interesting tidbit that came out of the Ubuntu Open Week; on
the 25th, SABDFL said:

"next week you will see two big announcements, one of which will
probably dominate the media"

I figured the timing was right for the larger of the two to mean that
Dell was going to ship Feisty.

I'm curious about the other one though; nothing newer on
http://www.ubuntu.com/news/pressreleasearchive yet so in a day or two?
