… they don't.

Looks like Dell is distancing themselves from the announcement made by Questar. Dell issued a statement saying the Questar announcement was “inaccurate” and was issued “without Dell input”. Could be that the announcement was not taken well by Microsoft (who OEM's Windows to Dell). Could also be that Dell prefers you by a Red Hat preload from them (unfortunately limited to a very small number of models). Either way, as I said earlier, we need a major OEM or two to step up to the plate and start offering Linux as an option on all models. I don't know which OEM this will be (IBM would be nice), but I have a feeling they will be well rewarded by the Linux community.
