1. As a private person you can also buy the business models - this is
just a logical separation.
2. I can have all those models also without OS if you wish - at that
time when I bought the Latitude E-5500, on the website it was offered
with Windows only. I just told them that I want it without OS. Also
wanted another display (I hate those glossy ones). They are flexible
if you talk to them - one reason why I do recommend Dell (second
reason is the excellent service - at least here in Austria).

I guess, everybody who wants to use Linux is able to put in the
distribution of flavor and dump the preinstalled Windows. I already
stated earlier that I think, there will be more than 50 % Linux around
earlier than offered in the shops. So bug #1 should maybe have another
description.
