Sell Linux PC/Laptops Through QVC

-40 points posted to Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies by mattjones Jan 22

Currently, Dell sell PC's and Laptops through QVC as well as their own website. I personally would love to see Dell sell a Linux Desktop or Laptop via QVC.

I am sure many people who are curious about Linux would love to see such a system in action and I am sure the system would be a big hit!

You have to show people out there that the DO have a choice and that they do not have to purchase a Vista system that will not run properly because the specs of their laptop are too poor, or a system that is full of bloatware.

Jan 23		 Apart from the Dell website, QVC is the only other place in the UK (that I am aware of) where I can purchase Dell systems. They are able to offer fantastic prices on their systems sold via QVC.

Jan 23		 @jackie_c: Thank you for the information. I see that it is a company...but I initially thought that it was an acronym for something. Or it may be both, but if so, then I do not yet know what it is an acronym for.

Jan 24		 if it is than so are the "use AMD" ideas and the "use intel" ideas and "sell at best buy or walmart or mcdonalds or the gas station down the street" ideas

Jan 24		 Yes I suppose you are right. Technically they are all spam somehow. The Linux ones are all a kind of not for profit spam. Interesting.
