It's short sighted to claim immediately that there are *any* savings to pass on at all. It's not as though these machines magically appear with an OS on once it's been decided. From my experience in the industry (and this in a much smaller company than Dell even), you will require a very efficient scheme for installing the OS to the machines remotely. These kinds of systems don't just appear overnight - they need planning, development and exectution. Critically, they will need to evolve over a period of time to approach the efficiency of those that have been in use for years and which are thoroughly tested and bug-free.
So if I were to write an article about you, detailing every aspect of your life, especially who you had/have (kinky?) sex with (especially without your significant other knowning), that'd be ok too, because it's just information and if you had sex with someone else while in a relationship it's your fault anyway, right?
Is there anything interesting about 'me'? If so, then yes, everything about this person should be recorded in an encyclopedia. You can't seriously be suggesting that censoring information to protect a few peoples' feelings is a good idea can you?

Just a thought, but how can you tell from a fossil that this animal had a "brightly coloured" and "feathered" nasal crest?!
