Canonical and Dell announces that Dell laptops preloaded with Ubuntu will be sold in 850 retail outlets in India. Ubuntu provides a legal, full-featured and flexible alternative to proprietary software, with a range of popular applications. The new format retail outlets will display Ubuntu-branded marketing collateral in-store, with trained staff explaining the advantages of Ubuntu to consumers. Such expansion in the retail domain of the country will be an added advantage for the signage companies dealing extensively in the in-shop displays, designs and other related tasks.
