After announcing a collaboration with Canonical to sell laptops in 850 retail outlets across India, starting this Saturday, July 21st, Dell comes now with another major announcement related to Project Sputnik.

Remember Project Sputnik? Officially announced as an experiment in May this year, Project Sputnik was supposed to be an open source laptop targeted for developers, which will run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Well, guess what?! Yesterday, July 18th, Dell proudly announced in a press release that Project Sputnik will become reality this fall, which will result in a developer laptop based on Dell XPS 13, pre-loaded with the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) operating system.

Available this fall in selected regions, the Dell XPS 13 laptop will offer a complete client-to-cloud solution to all Linux developers, with software to build "microclouds" on their netbooks, in order to simulate a at-scale environment that can be seamlessly deployed to the cloud.
