So when DELL start shipping with Ubuntu on their computers, would the consumer really know what they are in for? Now by all means linux distributions are great, and Ubuntu does aim its desktop distro at average end users. But, in an OS battle, I'm pretty sure they would choose Windows, probably because they've heard of it. And marketing is probably the reason that Ubuntu doesn't have the same attention as Windows does. Just my two cents!
