Very, very unlikely to be $100. Dell get ridiculously good OEM deals on 
their MS pre-loads, with informed speculation putting it around the USD50 
mark per system.
I think the best "tax refund" I've seen on the 'net from someone who 
pursued the matter with their laptop mfr was USD59, and it was from a 
company smaller than Dell.
