Information Week magazine is declaring the top open-source stories of 2007. Among them: Microsoft and Samba, Dell shipping Ubuntu, and GPL Version 3. Here’s an excerpt from the article penned by Serdar Yegulalp regarding the Ubuntu story.
“This was more than just Dell adding Ubuntu as a pre-load option, but certifying that Ubuntu would work with its machines, too.  As tentative as the whole thing was at first, it has since become a possible point of inspiration for other PC retailers. Whether or not Ubuntu will knock Windows out of the box is doubtful, but it at least means that much more choice — and competition.”
