Dell: Where's the Competitive Advantage?

Not quite agree with the OS charge bit: Dell (or any other PC vendor) don't HAVE to pay for an OS, heard of Ubuntu? They're shipping it on more and more machines. And they CAN differentiate themselves with features like instant-on (also linux based). With Windows now being zero-innovation and having completely shot themselves in the foot, different OSes and more features like instant-on is where the hardware manufacturers can start to differentiate where MS has dropped the ball.
