I don't think so. Last time this happened (shortly after the launch of the 
Dell Ubuntu machines) it was caused by a configuration error where a special 
offer was available for machines with Windows, but not for the equivalent 
Ubuntu machine. They fixed that rather quickly, and apologized. 

This is probably what is happening again; you could write to the folks at 
linux.dell.com and ask what's going on. 

Thanks, 
Ward.
