Dell contradicts Microsoft, says Windows 10 will be installed on PCs starting July 29. It turns out Windows 10 will be installed on PCs from four major manufacturers.
Dell Inc. CEO Michael Dell said on Twitter that he expects Windows 10 to ship on new Dell PCs on July 29, contradicting a statement made yesterday by Microsoft.
Microsoft, which is still testing the highly anticipated operating system, said consumers would have to work with their local retailers to upgrade to Windows 10 after purchasing their new devices, in a blog post.
This means that all new units, such as the Dell XPS 15, on which Microsoft demoed Windows 10 during Computex, would not come with Windows 10 preinstalled, but rather users would have to upgrade at retail locations.
After some confusion regarding what was actually going to happen, Microsoft announced:
[...] Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Acer will begin shipping PCs on July 29 with Windows 10 preinstalled, Microsoft told Bloomberg.
Yusuf Mehdi, Vice President of Windows and Device Marketing, was mistaken when he wrote in a blog post that PCs shipping on July 29 would not have the new operating system preinstalled.

Linux continues to get better as time goes by. You will still have some issue with the latest hardware having troubles working, but hardware that's a couple of years old has much better support. Instead of buying the most recent printer, try buying a printer that's been around a few years. That way it's much more likely to be supported in Linux. Or you could do a bit of research and get a printer that's supported. http://www.openprinting.org/printers/ [openprinting.org]
