Dell (the main provider of OEMs with Linux) includes support on all its products so if I were to guess at why the cost doesn't go down excluding the usual suspects (corporate greed/bribery), I'd have to say that it's likely due to needing to keep some people around who can support their linux product line (not that I'm really sure they do much of that anyway). |
Actually, the reason is all that bundled crap that OEMs slap onto windows. Every stupid piece of trialware you get with your OEM computer is dollars off of the price. Until the day comes that a lot of companys who want this kind of exposure are making Linux versions Windows boxes will cost less.
