The only fact you're missing is what a simple one - what you'd like the reality to be ... isn't. :-(
Yes, it should not be that way. But it is, at least as far as Dell is concerned.
(For a while, you could order desktops with Linux; no more. You *might* still be able to order servers with Linux. Laptops were never offered with Linux, IIRC)
I know they used to offer their server line with no OS; I bought a couple that way a couple years ago. I think they only offered that on their server products, tho.
