Actually, I think SUSE is far more likely. Given the Novell-Microsoft deal, Dell can just buy their SUSE licenses through Microsoft.
* Microsoft still makes money on it
* They'd be using a popular and commercially-supported distro
* SUSE bundles non-free software that allows MP3 playback, Flash, etc. out of the box
* Dell can prevent a fall-out in their relationship with Microsoft
It's a win-win-win situation for Dell, Microsoft, and Novell, but a loss for the community.
