It's a start.  Better than nothing.

I think Ubuntu is probably a good distro to expose mom & pop to.  I
donated a couple of PCs to to the big yard sale last year and
pre-installed Ubuntu on them.  It is getting pretty smooth and easy,
especially for office and internet apps.

I would have fought that.  I can see them refusing to support any
configuration or applications on it, but voiding the warranty?  What a
cop out.  How does it damage or harm the hardware.  Probably afraid Bill
would find out and raise their license rates.
