I dont know how you do it, but when I install linux all that preinstalled "junk" just disappears. It doesnt come back. If you have MS Windows popping up like the ads in Opera even after you have installed linux then I honestly dont know whats happening. And if Dell sells me the laptop cheaper for all that junk, well good. If they dont and they're still the best value for the kit, then also good. If they're not, I'll keep shopping. What seems to be odd is I use all the software you use, I just have better choice of hardware and I dont choke on my own bile in the process.
A better analogy would be buying a car with free gps, but you have your own preferred gps rig. Maybe the free gps will sit on the shelf, or maybe you'll find a friend needs a gps. Maybe you'll have need to have both gps's installed. Who knows? Who cares? It doesnt really matter. You have the car you want, the gps you want, at the price you want
