I'm not going to vote because (a) I'm never going to buy a Dell and (b) I don't care what OS comes preloaded since I'm going to wipe it anyway and reinstall. Anyone who matches (a) *or* (b) should also refrain from voting.
(b) is definitely not a good reason not to vote. One of the major issues is driver support for Dell hardware. So especially if you voting for some limited volume distro, it lets Dell know they need to ensure their hardware is supported by the vanilla kernel etc. iirc, I believe I've heard horror stories where the Dell hardware raid drivers were not working well in early 2.6.x kernels. Occasionally someone would boot a linux distro and cause all their data to be lost. Particularily in cases like storage Dell needs to be testing vanilla kernels and ensuring they at minimum do no harm.
