How IdeaStorm Works:
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. Can we get Studio Hybrid with Ubuntu? Desktops, Linux, Operating Systems submitted by arhere Aug 1
I LOVE the new Studio Hybrid PC's. Can we get it preinstalled with Ubuntu? This would drop the price even more and be a GREAT PC for surfing the Web and such. Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC! Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by samb0057 08/10/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. Standardize Power Cables for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades. Save Power. Be innovative. Make 80plus compliant systems. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by williamlaw 02/19/07 Make all DELL systems 80plus (http://www.80plus.org/index.htm) compliant. PC power supplies are notoriously inefficient. This allows large users to substantially save money and get rebates from their power supply. Consumers will benefit across the board, and DELL will get some green cred. With power a huge consideration for data centers, 80plus is a no brainer. 8 Comments » Recycle & refurbish old Dell PCs back to Dell for 10% discount Environment submitted by reg 05/18/07
Recycle your old Dell back to Dell for a 10% discount on new equipment. Dell can then secure overwrite erase the hard drive, install Ubuntu + hardware drivers, then donate the hardware to unemployment, food stamp, and welfare offices Nationwide. The social services offices then can pass out the refurbished used equipment to its clients, and Dell can be given BIG tax breaks by the State and Federal Systems.

Build a computer with Don't eliminate Microsoft Office 2003 just yet. Let us get both Office 2003 and Windows 2003! Operating Systems, Sales Strategies, Software submitted by winoffice 05/10/07
OK, I know that I may be scolded by open-source software fans for saying this...but like Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2007 is also rather new and has its own problems, and until Office 2007 becomes at least a year old (if not longer!), I think that the following should also be offered (let us choose both the individual progams and the suites): Since Office 2003 runs best on Windows Server 2003, and, in fact, Windows SharePoint Services 2 (which can enhance Office, Windows and FrontPage-based Web sites, as well as collaboration on Windows systems) requires it, let us get Windows Server 2003 in the Home Office section as well -- don't make us go to the Business or make us buy expesive $3,000 Poweredges. Offer the following versions for preinstallation on all Dell PCs: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Web Edition This post is for the following: 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. Publish the "noise" specs on every PC Dell Web Site, Desktops and Laptops submitted by stk 05/02/07
I want to buy a quiet PC, but Dell doesn't quote noise specs anywhere on the website. Dell goes GREENER ... _and_ saves money?!?! Dell, Environment submitted by phubert 05/09/07
Vote FOR this if you want to CONGRATULATE Dell Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Service and Support submitted by d0t-bat 05/02/07 Allowing the ability to download drivers from companies other than Dell (ie. Perc RAID controllers and being able to use drivers from LSI). Also providing up-to date drivers for old hardware that is "locked" such as laptops with outdated video drivers which cant be upgraded easily due to software restrictions. 1 Comment » Should Dell create a version of IdeaStorm in Spanish? IdeaStorm submitted by dell_admin1 04/30/07 Promote this if you think we should. 35 Comments » Sales Strategies submitted by polarwolf 02/28/07 This one is a short and easy one...if Dell doesn't want or can't offer OS-less consumer PCs or laptops, at least make it easier for customers to claim the refund they're intitled to in the Microsoft EULA if they don't accept the terms of the license. 21 Comments » Software submitted by fgarpe 02/26/07
Don't put DRM hardware or software in any Sell cheaper Used Windows licenses like the ones the Govt of Munich buys. Operating Systems submitted by jmxz 04/26/07 http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2007/01/02/munich_buys_windows_2000/ Munich buys Windows 2000 used licensesYes, that was 2007; and yes that was Windows 2000. Windows 2000 if perfectly adequate for many user's needs; and at less than half price it's pretty appealing. This will also be useful after Microsoft stops letting Dell ship new copies of XP. Selling used copies of XP could let Dell continue to fill the demand after Microsoft stops OEMs from selling new ones later this year. 8 Comments » Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Air Purifier / Filter for the Dell desktop PC Desktops, Environment submitted by kyliemanders 04/06/07
Most people leave their desktops on 24/7. Since we already have a cooling fan in place why not give us a removable cleanable air filter.
