“Indeed, if you look hard enough you’ll find Dell stating that
‘Ubuntu is safer than Microsoft Windows.’ Moreover, Dell quietly
says it plans to ship Ubuntu 10.04 systems in mid-2010. Here’s the

Ubuntu is safer than Windows. The move will surely ruffle some
feathers in Redmond, and The VAR Guy wonders if Microsoft will come
calling to pressure Dell to retract the assertion…”
