Finally the OS juggling games can stop and we can just have Ubuntu and Windows options on all of Dell’s computers from now on. Well, all of their netbooks, that is. One of the most annoying things about Dell is their seemingly random decisions about what computers are going to be offered with what OS. Apparently, though, Dell realized how annoying this was.
Dell’s new policy is, apparently, that all of their netbooks will be offered with the exact same hardware with your choice of Ubuntu or Windows. You don’t have to worry about the model you want being Windows only anymore.
This makes so much more sense than confusing customers with all sorts of games. My only question is why it took so long. And when they will apply this policy to all of their computers.
