“Dear Dell,

“I know that in the past you have offered a handful of paltry
Ubuntu options, though I confess I don’t understand why you
bothered at all.

“With the exception of your two netbook offerings, I have yet to
have seen you offer anything else that indicates to me that you
have any intentions to make Ubuntu a real option for your
customers.

“Oh, I know… for a while you offered Ubuntu on your Inspiron
15n laptop, and there was even an XPS M1330 notebook for a brief
time available on your website.”
