Because you don't have to pay the "Microsoft Tax." It's Dell's way of acknowledging that not everyone wants Windows without violating Microsoft's terms - without which, they'd get fewer discounts on volume licensing of Windows.

Does availability of FreeDOS somehow help with Linux installation? I don't see why they don't just sell it with nothing or sell it with Linux. They do sell some computers with Linux. We own one here.
