Open source operating systems obviously give more bang for the buck than any other operating system in the world. After all, they’re free, and you can’t get lower than free (unless you’re Kaspersky). However, what about pre-installed Ubuntu machines? Do they beat their Windows and OS X competitors in the bang for the buck category? Dell got rid of the so-called Windows tax, so it’s obvious that pre-installed Ubuntu on Dells give more power than pre-installed Windows on Dells. But what about Macs?
