How IdeaStorm Works:
Is the TCO of Linux much lower then MS Windows Operating Systems submitted by izach 02/28/07 IMHO when we're considering open source support, and integration (e.g., device drivers, etc), Linux cost isn't that much lower than MS Windows. Assuming H/W cost remains equal. 9 Comments » New Dell Retail Store! Death to Mall Kiosks! Advertising and Marketing, Sales Strategies submitted by evilspell 02/16/07 Dell should open a retail store very similar to the Apple store. I know that they have small kiosks inside malls that they try to sell Plasma TV's and a couple laptops next to a guy selling knock off sunglasses and verizon cell phone sales sharks! Very unprofessional. Open a classy Dell Store and offer Tech support right in the store just like the Genius Bar in the Apple Store. 144 Comments » Dell Community, Dell Web Site, Desktops and Laptops submitted by john_saddington 02/17/07
Dell should provide ways to "trick out" your dell, or provide support for those who are interested.

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. Silent / Quiet Computers: Sound levels in decibels Desktops and Laptops submitted by pchris 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
I'd like Dell to provide the sound level in decibels for each of their desktops, under max load as well as at idle. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by terrymain 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
All new laptops should have a built in web cam and quality voice recorder/microphone. Desktops and Laptops submitted by logi 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
This forum is a great idea to get Dell back to #1. Desktops and Laptops submitted by mwmtjm 01/30/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Do away with 512MB of memory as a base option to buy consumer desktops and notebooks. With Vista running best on 1GB at a minimum, don't make customers have a basic experience with the new OS because Dell wants to be able to advertise at a lower price point. The success of Vista -- and subsequently for Dell -- will be largely in word of mouth. Take a long-term view and build the momentum one great customer experience at a time right now!

Hello, 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!!

Desktops and Laptops submitted by shanx24 02/17/07 If Dell wants to regain relevance with its target audience, it should seriously hire a couple of leading designers and make machines that don't look like poor man's tin clunkers. Yes, even that 'luxury' line of machines you've started look hideous. Take inspiration from Vaio SZ or the small full-black Fujitsu or just about anything from Apple. I used to be an avid Dell evangelist for nearly 5 years, until it became to make less and less sense to me (even your 'international support' was useless. It does NOT work). 3 Comments » Corporate notebooks should have a "Quick Access" feature Laptops submitted by annec 01/30/07 Dell's consumer notebooks have the ability to "quick access" contacts, calendar and presentation information without going through a full boot cycle through its MediaDirect technology. Business users need that kind of quick access as well. Will Dell consider adding this feature to it's business notebooks? 7 Comments » New Product Ideas, Operating Systems submitted by goonmaster 02/20/07 A driver development kit for every peice of Dell hardware like Lexmark have, so if the driver doesnt exist you have the option of making it. 2 Comments » All versions of Windows Vista on Dell computers Latitude products, Operating Systems submitted by nick_inspironvista 02/17/07
I would love to buy a Dell Latitude D620 with Home Premium. For the Latitude's superb build quality, instead i have to buy a Inspiron. Why cant Dell have the choice of: Build a Dell Linux Distribution Linux, New Product Ideas, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jemfisher 02/20/07 With the wave of support for the Linux kernel to power desktop PC's, I think its time for a company with the quality build that Dell has to provide users with PC's that work for them. The adoption of Linux to power Dell PC's would give Dell a greater freedom to move forward with innovation. With the adoption of a Linux kernel Dell would be able to sell PC to meet users' demands. Businesses demand different machines than home users, students demand different machines again, machines targeted at younger users, etc. 100 Comments » Software submitted by ootleman 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, Linux submitted by pawprintz 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
How about a fast, Internet ready Linux desktop. Small form factor, pretty monitor, mouse & keyboard, the O.S., OpenOffice & Firefox. Cheap'n'fast submitted by platinumriver 02/20/07
Offering a Windows only option might have been a good idea years ago, but now even Apple's Mac OS X runs on Intel hardware and Linux is certainly a great alternative.  track my votes
