If I may make a suggestion?
I haven't used the Pcspecialist notebooks mentioned by Richard Smith so
cant comment on these particular choices, nice though it is to see 'No
Operating system' as a money saving choice :)
However if we do indeed find that machines offered by vendors like this
who give the user the CHOICE of paying extra for Windows, and the
machine is well behaved with Ubuntu such that it and an Ubuntu install
CD could be given to a novice to go away and install, then we should
reward such vendors by trying to get the message that we like their
product out in as much online and print media as we can manage.
That 'free pubicity' would encourage other manufacturers to do the same
and we all get more choice of being able to not buy a crappy OS we do
not want and won't be using.
