Exactly. It seems like the OEM Ubuntu is written with the expectation 
that the OEM will not admin the box after the sale. I guess that this 
wuold be true for most OEMs. But I was sort of expecting to at least 
upgrade it to Dapper later.

So, I guess that my options are to ask the user for his password or to 
never upgrade to Dapper. I don't know what to choose. Any opinions?

Best,
Daniel.
