“First, some details about the advertisement. Many many
U.S. newspapers on Sunday, October 12, included a multi-page Dell
flier. Among the many products advertised was the Dell Inspiron
Mini 9, a low-cost sub-notebook designed for email and Web
browsing.“You may recall that the Mini 9 is available with either Ubuntu
Linux 8.04 or Microsoft Windows Vista. But this particular
advertisement made no mention of the Windows option. Instead,
Ubuntu Vista was prominently mentioned and had the spotlight to
itself.”
