Private ideas

-380 points posted to IdeaStorm by regarciac May 14

I think first of all, the ideas included in this portal should be private, and only answered by Dell, cause you are opening the information of some very good ideas to everyone in the web. I think it's a really good idea this page and its content, but making it public reduces its competitive advantage.

May 14		 I'm demoting this idea on the basis that the whole concept of idea storm is to get user/consumer feedback on ideas. If the ideas were private then no one would be aware of some of the great ideas that have come up so far. Let alone be able to vote/demote on them. Overall this idea would take IDEASTORM the wrong way on a one way street!

May 14		 Also, ideas like Boycott Vista and "Selling" already freely available software does not give Dell a competitive advantage. Ideas that asks Dell do what X-Company is already doing, or create products like X-Company does notgive Dell a competitive advantage either

May 15		 I agree that taking this private would do much more harm than good. And if other companies want to come here and learn what people really want, and begin a race with Dell to see who can launch the implementations first, so be it. The consumer wins, either way. Not to mention competition keeps the prices down. All it takes is for one competitor to slash $50.00 off a price, and the next thing you know others are slashing more to keep up. Also, supply would exceed demand. To avoid any legal lashback, I doubt the Dell folks here could even accept ideas privately. So this is a great forum, but only if you really want your idea(s) to benefit everyone.

May 15		 The whole point of the web is collaboration. Enough said I think.

May 15		 If you want your idea private, email a moderator. The purpose of this forum IDEASTORM ala brainstorm, is to get ideas on the table, to see who else thinks they might be a good idea.

May 15		 Hello? The whole point of ideastorm is to be an open forum where we can discuss ideas with each other as well as with DELL.

May 17		 I demote this idea, because in the end I don't care who realizes an idea. If let say Dell finds an idea not worthy pursuing but HP picks it up and makes it into a product then tis fine for us consumers anyway. We will have the choice and ultimatly the market will decide if Dell was wiser to ignore the idea or HP by picking it up.

May 29		 This idea is interesting, but I shall demote because this idea itself is public.
