Dell Ubuntu Linux buyers were recently outraged when a price comparison between identical Inspiron 1420 laptops showed that instead of the Ubuntu system being cheaper, it actually ended up costing $225 more than the same laptop with Vista Home Basic Edition. This was after Dell had announced the week before that Ubuntu systems would be $50 cheaper than similar systems running Vista Home Basic Edition...

...Now, Dell has corrected its mistake. If you go to the Dell Inspiron 1420 page, you'll find you can get the same offer for the free upgrade to 2GB of memory and 160GB hard drive for the Ubuntu Inspiron 1420.
