Why recommend a "shoot first and ask questions later" strategy first?
It's needlessly antagonistic and certainly does nothing to advance the
cause of Linux at Dell.

Never attribute to malice that which you can attribute to mere
incompetence. I don't think it's a deliberate policy at Dell to not
support the Ubuntu they bundle with some of their machines. It's more
likely to be a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is
doing where the support personnel on the front lines not knowing about
the Ubuntu support specialists that they must have. There is no way that
Dell would have bundled Ubuntu with anything if they couldn't support it.
