But I guess that there are ways to licence these for Linux. It's weird Dell isn't including such things as Mp3 and DVD since Dell doesn't sell the Ubuntu versions cheaper then the Windows Vista versions, then Dell should be having a lot of margins to pay the necessary licences to include those codecs by default.
