I'm going to have to echo what Joe is saying here. There is no way that Dell is paying full price for a copy of Windows. Computers are getting cheap, but not THAT cheap, not to the point where Dell will sell a desktop for under 300, even if they could. It's business, plain and simple. Why charge less for a desktop with Ubuntu if people will pay the same price? It might be slightly cheaper, but I really don't expect to see any 200 dollar computers from Dell in the near future.
And seriously, I can't hate Microsoft. The Xbox360 is just too good
