Ones who pre-load Linux could presumably calculate that shipping a
better supported chip may cost them slightly more initially but save
them maintenance headaches and hence eventually work out cheaper, so
that would be Dell and HP. I think some of their pre-loaded systems do
come with Intel chipsets rather than Broadcom, which are indeed slightly
more expensive to procure. I haven't directly heard the rumours Rahul
had, though.
