I have never installed a windoze system on any machine I have owned but 
friends of mine have installed it without harming their Linux desktop.

I would FIRST burn a copy of the ubuntu-dell-reinstall.iso which is on the 
machine so you don't lose the extras Dell provides on their pre-installs.  I 
would do the upgrade path for the same reason.  I perhaps use DVDs more than 
the average user would, but I would not like to be without LinDVD!
