- Cheaper computers? I don't know how much OEM versions of Windows can go down to but Linux is free. So that will cut the cost. But should Microsoft raise the price of single Windows systems to force consumer's who want Windows to have Windows pre-installed or lower the price to compete. Well, higher price, lower sales, it'll at least take Microsoft a while to figure out the new equilibrium.
- Better compatibility for Linux? Linux can be sold and can be made money of. So, there's more incentive for people to work harder to develop Linux drivers and hardware vendors to support Linux to sell to Linux market?
- Do you prefer a laptop with Linux pre-installed or Windows pre-installed? I would choose Linux probably. That'll save you all the trouble to fix things and Windows supports everything anyway.
What can Dell's pre-installed Linux bring us?
