bstar··on Dell's list of why to buy one with Ubuntu
Any os that has a software repository(with sources) is going to be inherently more secure. If novice users only get their software from APT then they will be eliminating a whole slew of exploits that could infect their computer.

In this regard, Ubuntu is lightyears more secure than Windows.

bstar··on Dell's list of why to buy one with Ubuntu
Surprised Dell is so enthusiastic as some of the claims aren't quite the whole truth... Like stating that openoffice is not available in windows, or that MS Office formats are fully supported.

Regardless, I get more and more respect for Dell as they continue to embrace MS alternatives.
