Here are the full details of the chat with Dell.  Seems they do not
want to supply machines with Linux even though they advertise this.
This is in breach of trading standards laws.  Any suggestions?

According to your website you do. And I did buy one a couple of years
ago, it was an XPS M1330 with Ubuntu on it.
 12:41:59        Agent   raghava_reddy_varala
yes it is mentioned on the web site
 12:42:04        Agent   raghava_reddy_varala
but we do not have any
 12:43:59        Customer        Joanna Theotoky
What a pity! Windoze is a nightmare, will have to look for another
make. OR, do you refund the Windows tax before we go the small claims
court or afterwards?
 12:47:39        Agent   raghava_reddy_varala
We do not have such options
 12:57:01        Customer        Joanna Theotoky
OK then. Will go for HP. cheers
 12:58:57        Agent   raghava_reddy_varala
ok
 13:02:32        Agent   raghava_reddy_varala
Is there anything else that I may assist you with today?
