They should do exactly as they have done - charge a little less than a vista machine - make a bigger profit. I would hope that their margins on a linux box are considerably higher than for a vista box. Dell deserve to make out like bandits until other computer manufacturers get off their butts and start competing with them. This is the handsome reward that the market supplies for being first.

What a bunch of sniveling cry babies. Sorry, I guess it is only the whiners that are heard from usually. Dell is taking a real chance with this project. What major company has done more to get Linux on computers? I’m so tired of Linux users whining about paying for something I’m about to switch to *BSD. What a bunch of sniveling cry babies.

That's just about the cost of the Windows license per system that Dell has to pay. No windows, no license fee. Actually $50 is just about right.
