Controlling the debate is a wonderful thing.  Dell cherrypicked what to 
respond to, did not link to the actual site either on the Press Release 
or the article.

http://dellideastorm.com is the actual site, where this is currently #6:

''No OS Preloaded

I have a XP Pro retail copy, will soon buy retail vista, I also like 
Linux: Make WINDOWS-FREE, and OS-Free an option for more than just 
expensive business lines...let me get that cheap-o $500 dimension 
without Windows...please! ''

That's one idea Dell "recommends Windows Vista™ Business" don't want to 
give any oxygen to.  And why would any news outlet rock the boat when 
their boat floats on Dell and Microsoft advertising dollars.
