John,

Yes. Apparently Dell is paid for those installs in some way. I've seen a
couple of brand new desktops in which "no security software" was chosen but
yet the systems still arrived with Norton Internet Security trials
installed.

I took this not as a sign of Dell's generosity, but rather as an indication
of some $$$ benefit for them.

Just a guess.
