Dell: No shelter against SCO suits (News.com)

I would gladly be one of those people using Linux on Dell computer without their support if Dell was not recommending Windows so strongly for its laptops that it comes to the point that I can not find any of them without the damn operating system installed.
That is sad because I really would like to have a Dell, but just a bit cheaper, and really without Windows, that point is a strong requirement (to avoid the temptation of using it).
