@Onkar: Well, my point was that Vostro is listed under the buisness<br>
category alongwith XPS, Latitude and Precison while Inspiron/XPS under<br>
the home( Home/Home & Office, rather - whatever that means) category in<br>
the Dell website. If Dell is going to offer Vostro laptops with ubuntu<br>
pre loaded I will be very happy compared to all those blissfully unaware<br>
around me.<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> Unfortunately even as I write the laptop in question (Vostro</span><br style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">
A series )is mentioned but cannot be configured, and so I assume cannot</span><br style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">
be ordered.</span> Also the fact that it will be unsupported will not find many<br>
takers, especially in India. SaaS is a new concept, and it will be some<br>
time before people here adapt to it. But I completely agree that ubuntu<br>
is a wonderful OS and I use nothing but ubuntu at home and in the<br>
hospital.<br>

@List: But to shift the focus a little away, here is something<br>
intresting that i read:<br>
<a href="http://polishlinux.org/linux/how-to-get-a-refund-for-windows-in-poland/" target="_blank">http://polishlinux.org/linux/how-to-get-a-refund-for-windows-in-poland/</a><br>
<br>
There are a few other links following the translated story on a similiar<br>
vein! For myself, I think its too late to try this. But for new buyers<br>
this may be useful.<br>
