Dell-n-Ubuntu

Dell gets Linuxed - to be precise it gets Ubuntu'd. Very interesting move for all the obvious reasons. To be honest, I'm not sure how big Dell's sales are going to be and if this is going to be the move that rescues them from their financial doldrums. Also, will people who buy Dell/GNU/Linux machines be first-time GNU/Linux users or will they just be older GNU/Linux folks who want the convenience of a pre-install? And, will anyone else follow suit?
