I really don't think this is the way to go. IMO dell should give a free ubuntu disk on the box, or even dual-boot; that way people won't have to buy a windows copy if they want to use the apps they are used to or if give up trying to learn. I use ubuntu and it's far better than windows, and believe me, since I started using linux about two years ago, when I use windows (even XP) I feel really happy about not having to use that crap everyday. If people have a dual-boot machine they'll come back to ubuntu if they go to XP for anything. Besides, the cost difference won't be that great when preinstalling XP (Vista is another story).
The subscription didn't work in the past simply because it was retarded. But if apple can trick the masses and make them believe they will own the songs, when they won't, might be a different story. Still, subscriptions are retarded.
