Dell gets subsidies from MS that is why they can sell the windows machine with better specs for less.... unless dell wants to eat the cost of the ubuntu machine your not going to get anyone at dell to change anything...
what i would do... is ask for a refund on your windows installation..as one user mentioned... it may not be much but it will put money back into your pocket.. and take it away from MS.. plus you got the machine at a cheap price..
what you did do is support MS... and their marketing machine claim another sale of windows.. and gave dell more ammunition to claim that there is no demand for linux... asking for a refund will put a ding in this marketing machine..
good luck...
