Just make sure your ultrabook is Ubuntu-certified or something and let people install the official version.

They could just get the hardware Ubuntu certified, literally. It might actually cost Dell less, too. Of course everyone wants their own "ecosystem", so maybe they'd rather just lose the customers if they can't lock them in.
