The American website doesnt give the option for Ubuntu unless you specify it from the search bar, and oddly the US gets version 8.10

It was all over Digg/Twitter when i posted about it here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1204027) so i`d imagine Dell already know about it.

Such think can be stay so, because many people don't know another OS than Windows, and here http://www1.euro.dell.com/uk/en/home/mini_laptop_deals/fs.aspx?refid=mini_laptop_deals&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1 in the first column is a notebook that have Ubuntu as OS, then why says "Microsoft Operating System Ubuntu 8.04".

Hope enjoy with this error of a serius company :lolflag:

I didn't know Ubuntu 8.04 was a well known Microsoft operating system. I just saw this article on lxer.com and thought to myself, what a total FAIL.

Lucky!! I can't afford Microsoft Firefox 3.5 so I'm sticking with 3.0 for now. Microsoft Ubuntu 9.04 x64 ftw!

I've spotted like 2 threads about this already though lol
