Dell announced to pre-load Ubuntu on Notebooks and Desktops for US market. What about for Europe? We want for Europe market too... users from Switzerland, Germany, France, UK, Austria, Spain, and others are requesting the same. 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. Sell Linux PCs Worldwide - not only the United States Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by ergo 05/02/07 **PARTIALLY 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! Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by kholz 04/16/07 I think Dell should build it's Desktops/Notebooks that are fully compatible with the Linux Kernel, Solaris Kernel and any of the *BSD Kernels. The Linux distribution should never be an issue if all the hardware is supported by the Linux Kernel, the same would go for most of the other UNIX like systems supported by the x86 and x86_64 architectures. Dell should follow Apple and Sun's lead by using open source to promote innovation. 4 Comments » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Operating Systems submitted by parucoool 04/16/07 As PC Restore utility is shipped with Image on the HDD and it can get erased if cust formats the HDD.Dell can send the PCrestore Image in such a way that even after format it should not get erased i.e cust should not be able to erase the image. It will save the cost of shipping the Operating System disks. 6 Comments » Sales Strategies submitted by jmxz 04/16/07
HP gives me the helpful option of letting me choose not to deface my laptop with a Vista sticker. VISTA label Yes, they also give me the option of not getting Vista at all on that page (saving $75) but I think that's been pointed out in other ideas on ideastorm before. Dell: Please give us the option not to get a sticker - and, like HP, to make the systems without a Vista Basic Logo cheaper than ones with the ugly sticker. 12 Comments » Dell Community submitted by jerseyshore 04/16/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
Why don't you let folks rate videos and add in their comments for StudioDell? Desktops and Laptops submitted by blackwolf 04/16/07 Dell, as a major computer/systems builder, should build systems that use NON-proprietary hardware. Proprietary motherboards, power supplies, and other equipment that Dell frequently has built to fill specific models of desktops, are only a problem once those desktops are out of warranty - usually within 1 or 2 years, 3 if the consumer paid extra - and are a [edited by moderator] to replace later, when the consumer is usually having issues with his/her desktop. Instead of being able to replace a proprietary piece of hardware, the user often has to either buy a new system (and usually does NOT want to do this) or has to have so many components replaced that they may as well have bought a new system. An interesting note to all this: Most base line consumers, genuinely like the computer case that came w/ their systems, but get frustrated and upset when they find out that all the parts inside it are proprietary and that replacing parts is problematic at best, and impossible at worst. Dell would garner a lot of consumer interest in its products if it quit using proprietary products. This is one reason why I always build every single system I own, with the exception of laptops.

i notice that there is an extream amount of new hardware comming out in Promote the advancement and involvement of women in computer use and design Education, Women Interest submitted by badblood 04/16/07
In the United States, the number of women represented in engineering and information technology peaked in the late 1980s. Since then, the percentage of women in the computing profession declined from 35.2% in 1990 to 28.4% in 2000. In computer science in particular, there has been a dramatic drop in women earning bachelor's degrees. A report from the Computing Research Association indicated that the number recently fell below 20%, from nearly 40% in the mid 80s. Research has shown that many misperceptions about computing persist and may discourage women. Option of complete customization Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by kalpakrg 04/16/07
Give options for complete customization of the system. Like people can pick and choose from whatever processor to any RAM, Hard Drive, Wifi card, OS etc. Give options to people to (Virtually) assemble there machines. Also there can be options more specified on grouping the customer Service and Support submitted by ray_linn 04/17/07
As we know, the service is very important for a famous company to keep on growing up. IBM already turned into a sevice company from a computer manufacture. How about Dell? 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!! Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by agreer 02/17/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
I have a XP Pro retail copy, will soon buy retail vista, I also like Linux: Make WINDOWS-FREE, and OS-Free an option for more than just expensive business lines. Pre-Installed OpenOffice | alternative to MS Works & MS Office Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/17/07 **REVIEWED**
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.
