From what I have seen, the Vista tax for computers from large vendors is $50 for Vista Home Basic, probably not that much more for Home Premium. Most people (even if that doesn't include me) would rather stick with a vendor like Dell or HP and pay the extra $50 -- and if they already have a copy of Vista, they probably won't wipe their disk and install Linux.
You can get a program for Ubuntu called "Reconstructor", which makes it literally drag-and-drop to make ISOs of custom Ubuntu systems. You just optionally specify a desktop theme and startup picture, make a list of packages you want it to come with, and it gives you a nice ISO. The alternate install CD of Ubuntu is supposed to make it easier to rollout systems but I'm not sure how.

Windows doesn't support Apple file sharing (AFP) in the first place. Which sucks because Samba is a security nightmare compared to AFP.

Maybe "swivers?" ...

Actually, that's exactly what I'd expect from the FSF.
