Of course the line has Linspire(Lindows) pre-installed.

What's wrong with Linspire?  It's based on Debian, is easy to use, has some good KDE mods, and a simpler (though pay-for-usage) apt-get.  Oh wait, the marketing.  :D

Either way, go Dell!

from what i know... lindows sucks just like windows.  people say it carries some of the same stupid behavior windows is renouned for.  but i guess this is a [small]step towards dell putting suse in their machines.
