Ubuntu is A Microsoft Product Now!

Published on July 3, 2009 in Humor by Rami Taibah

Well at least according to Dell’s website. A 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 8GB of disk space armed with Microsoft’s latest masterpiece: Ubuntu!

Update: Here is the original Dell website. The error is still up. Not fixed. Doesn’t matter, print screen already did the damage ;)

Update 2: After 5 days from the original post, Dell finally fixed it.

    And where did you learn that sensitive way of communicating with people?

    OF COURSE Dell is going to give better support to a customer with 200 Dell PCs.

    True. I have an XPS M1530 with most of the upgrades, that came loaded with Ubuntu 8.04. I've dual-booted with XP and have no issues. Truly great machine.

      They still did not fix the “Faster processor” claim on the right hand (dearest) model that runs at 1.33GHz as opposed to the other two (cheaper) models that run at 1.33GHz.

    Not only this, once I was buying Dell Laptop. I’ve choosen to customize it, and upgraded the processor from 2.10 GHz to 2.56 GHz, and I was shocked to see that price decreased. Well, then I contacted the customer care number and they fixed it in a day…

    I think we might be missing a valuable lesson here. This is all free advertising for Ubuntu. Haw many people buying dells do you actually think even heard of Ubuntu. They just see pretty pics and Dell recommends this (usually highest cost upgrade) and have no idea what they're actually getting. “fully upgradable” “oh I heard that was a good thing” *click click*. So they may be sad to find that Ubuntu is not microsoft. But now they know of Ubuntu.
