How IdeaStorm Works:
when is Dell Displayport going to be used in new systems? Inspiron products, Monitors and Displays, Vostro products submitted by ward733 07/29/07 Dell has developed a better connector than dvi. Reading in the dell article it is supposed to be introduced in late 2007. Created because vga and dvi has reached its potenttial and dell has a better connection for future digital connection that is not limited.. redisign in video adapter interface is required.. would of been a great replacement for the vga adapter in the inspiron and vostro notebooks... 2 Comments » Desktops, Monitors and Displays, New Product Ideas submitted by i.peters 06/06/07
I read something on your website: DELL, post own ideas here and see reactions of users IdeaStorm submitted by millhauz 09/21/07 **ALREADY OFFERED** Some icon could be used to let people know it's a DELL - idea. Then watch promoting/demoting and comments to see, if the feature is worth putting in production 22 Comments » OpenBIOS/LinuxBIOS Machines, Laptops in particular Linux, Laptops submitted by smoe 08/23/07
It would of course be brilliant if Dell would offer such directly. To support the respective developers though would already be sufficiently fantastic. Dell, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by bassaf 03/08/07 Make a deal with Steve Jobs and have OS X installed on new Dell PCs with style and affordable price, so my father can actualy use a computer without being a systems engineer. 51 Comments » Provide Linux Drivers for all your Hardware Linux submitted by gergnz 02/19/07 **IN PROGRESS**
I don't care whether the OS is pre-installed or not, I want all the hardware to be totally supported in the Linux kernel without in mucking around. I currently have a Dell M1210 and I wish the modem would work, just in case I need it. The web cam would work, just in case I need it. At least the Intel wireless card is totally supported. Thanks Intel!! EFI, eSATA, fingerprint reader Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Servers and Storage, Laptops submitted by wkornewald 03/08/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Please add EFI, eSATA, and maybe a fingerprint reader to all your notebooks! New Product Ideas, Desktops and Laptops submitted by joeaguy 02/19/07 Why are PC makers so slow to swith from BIOS to EFI? Apple did it with their Intel macs, and there are tons of reports that Windows runs faster on a Mac under BootCamp than with equivalent PC hardware. There is something to be said for their simpler EFI based hardware architecture helping speed. If Microsoft is the big hold up here, surely PC makers can put some pressure on. The PC needs to shed all of the old tech that is still in the spec. 39 Comments » Linux submitted by sveinungkv 07/10/07
LinuxBIOS (http://linuxbios.org/) replaces BIOS or EFI. It does the first initialization of the hardware before it loads its payload. The payload could be anything, from the Linux kernel to a boot loader. It has the following advantages: coreboot (formerly LinuxBIOS) instead of proprietary BIOS Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by yesmathew 02/20/07
coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. Make Linux and no Operating system standard options on all future products Operating Systems submitted by jervis961 08/17/07 **REVIEWED**
OK Dell you have committed to supplying Linux options in limited form. Since you have laid the groundwork already here is the next step. Every new product you release that needs an Operating system should have Linux and also no Operating System as an option in the configuration along side Windows. Since you have to write drivers and test compatability for Vista when making a new product just make it compatable with Linux at the same time. There will no longer be a need for a seperate sections for Linux or no Operating system since all of the products will have the option. this will help make your site easier to navigate for you customers. You can also create an ACCURATE help me choose section for the OS choices. Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser Software submitted by robinjfisher 02/19/07 **REVIEWED**
Does what it says on the tin! Most people only use IE because they aren't aware of other browsers - they think Internet Explorer is the Internet! What would really drive take up of alternative browsers is if Firefox was pre-installed as the default browser so that when people look for the "Internet" in Windows, they are using FF. Same discounts available on Ubuntu and Windows Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by jonsmirl 06/12/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED** I'm ordering a Vista XPS 410 right now. I wanted a Ubuntu one but I'm going to throw away yet another copy of Windows. The Vista XPS 410 has $200 off today and free ship for a total of $869. The identical Ubuntu machine is $1019 plus $29.99 shipping. So today Ubuntu costs $170 more than Windows instead of $50 less. Why can't I have the same discounts on the Ubuntu machine? 50 Comments » Pre-Installed OpenOffice | alternative to MS Works & MS Office Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
TV Commercial for New Ubuntu PCs Advertising and Marketing, Linux submitted by josmar52789 05/03/07 Dell should produce a new commercial for the Ubuntu PCs. It could tell the consumers of America why Dell has chosen to pre-install Linux on mainstream computers and hopefully promote the advantages of this new endeavor. Plus, it's likely that Dell's Linux initiative would be much more successful. 117 Comments » Implemented: Ubuntu Dell is Le$$ Than Windows Dell Linux submitted by thebittersea 05/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**

Dell has now decided to sell computers with Linux pre-installed. GREAT MOVE! But for the moment, it only concerns the US... Here outside the US, we can't wait to buy a pre-installed Linux Dell PC! Please sell Linux PCs worldwide! Dell change your CD/DVD's to SATA for cable reduction allowing better cooling. Desktops, Servers and Storage submitted by jorge 06/19/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Dell change CD/DVD's on your Desktop and Server models (All) to SATA. Using SATA cables reduces any ventilation restrictions which can occur with IDE ribbon cables. SATA also reduces configuration issues for new computer users, reducing support calls.  track my votes
