The default install of Windows doesn't play DVDs without a DVD codec. There's no reason to believe this wouldn't happen for Linux too. Most Linux users use the free codec which works great, but may be illegal but Intervideo has a Linux version: http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/LinDVD.jsp. I don't see a reason not to make that available to computer manufacturers putting Linux on their machines.
