You don't get it.

M$ Windows has been pre-installed on every computer I've ever owned.

This means that even if I don't use the OS M$ is profiting from me.

M$ has done more questionable things than I care to go into.

I will not buy anything M$ not when their vista does things like this http://aaxnet.com/editor/edit043.html, and their old os does things like this:http://www.fuckmicrosoft.com/content/ms-hidden-files.shtml

I've also heard the Windows Media Player logs what you listen to and sends it off to some unknown destination.

I can't seem to find a linux laptop anywhere. I want to be assured that M$ didn't make .001 cents off me.

There is no other area in life that a company has 90% of the market. At the very least 90% of the home market. Name one other industry that does that?

I don't care if Dell pockets the difference, and the computer costs the same, just as long as M$ doesn't get any of my money. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a discount of ... $100 or so, but more than likely it'll be $30

I plan on building my next desktop, but I'd like to own a laptop with wifi. If dell offers linux laptops I'll buy it from there.

I don't really care about phone support just the promise that the hardware has been tested, and it runs in linux.
