Conrad, I think you miss-remember Bug #1.

"Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC
marketplace. This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix."

For every Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Linspire or Apple Mac that is sold, we get
a little fix to that bug.  And more non-microsoft means less MS-only
apps and websites.  Also, the more Ubuntu has mind share, the more
likely people will be to code and product test to the base Ubuntu.  (The
one we like, not the Dell version.  No one codes to Dell Windows either)

Now the reason DVD playback is a good thing is my sister.  If it does
not have it, she won't use the system.  And no, she won't (She believes
that she can't, but that is a different bug) add it her self.  Vendors
like Dell make there money selling to people like my sister, and that is
why Dell includes DVD, Flash, Support, and other things that you or I
don't need.  The alternative is to leave them to Microsoft, and now we
are back to Bug #1.
