You're being terminally naive

"A host of other vendors, most notably Dell, plan to release Linux-powered UMPCs this summer. Sources close to Dell confirm that its will be releasing two Dell E systems that will use Ubuntu 8.04..... Officially, Dell has no word on these plans. Come August, about the same time the other Atom-powered Linux UMPCs actually arrive, you can expect to see Dell Ubuntu Linux-powered UMPCs on sale."

Oh really? Do you expect Steve Ballmer to just sit there and let this happen? Here's a clue - from earlier in the article:

"Curiously, a twin to the MSI Wind N270, the Advent 4211, is already available in the UK. The Advent 4211, however, is sold by UK retailer PC World as a Windows XP Home-only system."
