How IdeaStorm Works:
Education, Software submitted by thaisi 03/29/07
Be able to buy a JAVA development machine right from the store.. Stop using Microsoft and Intel as crutches Dell submitted by ronsemail 02/17/07 Try innovating without Microsoft or Intel as your R&D lab. Go hire and staff a kick butt set of designers and engineers and pay them the better than anyone else. In fact pay all of your staff better than anyone else, in 3 years you will be the best brand in the business. Try spending some of your customers money on product development instead of putting it your bank account. 4 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: Linux, Operating Systems submitted by lenny 02/20/07 I will probably buy a Notebook this year - I guess this Spring - and I would prefer NOT to get Vista on that Notebook. I think, XP Pro does the Work just rigth and I am not the slighest interested in getting Vista with that Notebook, just to make M$ and/or Dell satisfied. Comment » Linux certification for hardware Linux submitted by godji 02/20/07
It would be great if, when customizing a computer (laptop or desktop doesn't matter), there would be some indication about what hardware will work with Linux. On systems where all hardware is supported, there could be an option to have no operating system preinstalled, or have Linux preinstalled. Also, such systems should have some sot of sticker, similar to the ubiquitous "Designed for Windows Whatever". The sticker could say "Designed for Linux" or "Works with Linux" or "Linux Ready", etc. Linux Preinstalado en DELL España submitted by irio 02/20/07
Que el cliente de Dell España (domesticos, empresas, etc) tenga posibilidad de configurar el PC a comprar con Software Libre: Linux with Corporate Support (Mandriva Linux) Linux, Service and Support, Desktops and Laptops submitted by odiseo70 02/20/07 I've seen many interesting topics about dell machines running free linux. But I think that a major linux distribution end user oriented like mandriva linux will be great for dell pcs and laptops. It's great because Mandriva has a very interesting costumer support infrastructure and it is one of the more easy to use distros I've seen. 5 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 » Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by swirtun 02/20/07 A media center PC with expensive and nice box, with an amplifier, and other stuff to satisfy a HiFi user, but with the replaceable PC parts. PCs get obsolete much faster then good music gear so why replace the whole thing, it should be possible to just replace the PC parts, and it should of course run Linux. 4 Comments » Linux submitted by lostinspace 02/21/07
I have just gone through the process of trying several different linux distros as the main OS on a new OS-free PC I bought (not from Dell, obviously). I went through the latest Fedora to OpenSuse to Ubuntu, and finally tried Mandriva One, as well as Mandriva Free. Both the Mandriva versions were the least problematic and most flexible of the bunch, so You should add Mandriva to your list. PLEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE. Remove: "Dell recommends Windows Vista™..." from any publication Advertising and Marketing submitted by tho.meier 02/21/07
It would be nice to see advertising without any Micro$oft, from Dell. I think there is enough advertising for MS from MS it self. Pre-install Linux with option of licensed codecs Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dominicwise 02/20/07
Provide customers with the option to have Linux pre-installed as an alterrnative to Windows when purchasing a PC or laptop. As there are a huge number of Linux distributions available it might be sensible to offer from a few of the most popular ones e.g. Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora which can be freely distributed at no cost. This would provide a competitive advantage as with zero licensing fees lower prices could be offered to customers. Preinstall open-source OS (Linux) + fully-functional FREE application software Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by doctorsuse 02/20/07
Adding to the other posts on this subject, yes, DELL makes great hardware. Facilitating the sale of this hardware by preinstalling an open source Linux OS and fully-functional OpenOffice suite + a selection of some of the other great open source photo editing, Internet browsing, email, multimedia software would be a great idea. This saves the consumer hundreds of dollars per system (have a look at the price of MS office 2007 + Vista, not including Photoshop and so forth). The recent agreement between Ubuntu and Linspire would offer all multimedia codec support for legal use. As well, Dell could no doubt come to some mutually-beneficial agreement with Ubuntu/Linspire as to the CNR (Click 'N Run) software downloading service (though which users can purchase or freely download other software, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of free packages available from the various Ubuntu repositories). AVG Free Edition (Virus and Spyware Utilities) Installation Option Software submitted by solidsource 02/19/07 Allow for AVG (or other virus software/spy ware manufacture alternative) instead of, or alongside, the other options (Norton,etc...). AVG is a comprehensive suite of virus and spy ware protection applications that remains very un-intrusive compared to the other options Dell provides. Simply allowing for an alternative(s) to the big 2 would be great. 8 Comments » Linux option available in Europe Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by johndude 02/26/07 Its great that Dell will begin supporting Linux but we should make sure that this is worldwide and not just in America. Everything that comes out of Dell Idea Storm should be worldwide and not just in America. Thanks :) 6 Comments » 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 fgarpe 02/26/07
Don't put DRM hardware or software in any Linux, Desktops and Laptops submitted by brjones 02/20/07
I vote to have Ubuntu or Kubuntu installed or just be able to buy a new Dell cheaper (with possibly even an AMD processor) with no pre-installed O/S. Desktops, Linux submitted by richlake1951 02/20/07 I would love to see Dell sell a fully configured Linux desktop. One similar to the Xandros 4 OS. A multimedia power house loaded with the most popular opens source software, K3b, Amarok, Banshee, Open Office, GIMP, Kaudiocreator, etc. Also I would like the PC itself to be open to all developers, public and private, with full support of Dell and access to the technical knowledge necessary to develop open source drivers and software. 2 Comments » Linux vs. Windows option on DELL Laptops Linux, Software, Laptops submitted by oliver 02/20/07
