How IdeaStorm Works:
Offer Windows XP SP3 when it comes out - now is the time to make sure Microsoft will let you. Operating Systems submitted by jmxz 10/09/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Sounds like WinXP Service Pack 3 will be coming out soon. Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by xivulon 09/26/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
There are several proposals that basically ask the same thing: SHOW UBUNTU IN THE LIST OF OPERATING SYSTEM ON ALL MACHINES [subtract $50]. And why not, add XP to the list as well. There are also many more proposals that would be made redundant IF the above was implemented. If you add them all together that is probably the most requested feature at the moment. Yes I think many of the ideas below can be merged. Make XP/Linux drivers available for all model even if only Vista is pre-installed Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux, Operating Systems submitted by vineets001 09/24/07 **REVIEWED**
There are good hardware models coming out. And only Vista is pre-install option. If people want to wipe off Vista and install XP or Linux, let them do that. Make a commitment to have the drivers available. Ubuntu on all models where it works Linux, Operating Systems, Small Business submitted by jonsmirl 08/01/07 **IN PROGRESS**
I'm still throwing away copies of Windows. Recently I have ordered some Dimension 9200s from Small Business. All of these machines are running Ubuntu today without problem. They're being used to replace some PE400SCs that are starting to die. A 2GB quad core for $649 was too good a deal to pass up. It makes a great small server. Please make Ubuntu XPS Notebook cheaper than XPS Vista Notebook Linux, Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by dki May 26
Hi, Environment submitted by falbert May 22
In the last shipment of computers I received I was shocked by the amount of plastic wrap used for items like power cords, USB cables, VGA/DVI cables. Do these items really need to be individually wrapped in a plastic bag. I can just imagine the tons of plastic used by Dell annually...

MagSafe power connectors, by Apple, are magnetic power connectors that pull out harmlessly when the cord is tripped upon. 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. Is this something Dell can do? ASUS' Motherboard Comes With Linux Embedded Dell, Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by phubert 10/09/07
ASUS' Motherboard Comes With Linux Embedded Laptops submitted by tleavit 10/09/07 Specifically in my case Latitudes in businesses: Dell needs to remove modems as default hardware. Understanding that people out there today are actually still using them, for now it should be an option but I don’t think every laptop made needs to have one installed by default. Utilize the real-estate freed up on the back for something new such as HDMI video/sound or such. 17 Comments » Dell Quick Set Plus Media Direct Button XPS products submitted by arcorl 04/30/07
The Dell Quickset is a great utility for the notebook lines. It is a power utility if you happen to the lucky one to own an XPS system! Monitors and Displays, New Product Ideas submitted by mario52 10/08/07
Hello Lock down accounts on IdeaStorm which vote for hundreds of ideas in under a couple minutes. IdeaStorm submitted by jorge 10/08/07 Anyone voting for hundreds of ideas in under a couple minutes is not reading the ideas and really not voting as the sites use intended (TOU's), lock down those accounts till the java programmer can add a vote timer and not allow votes to happen so fast, as in a vote between ideas counter. I'd say at least two minutes between votes so the voter can at least read the idea and interpret it. 29 Comments » Laptop keyboard with full size Ctrl / Alt / Space keys (no "win" keys) Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by robot 10/08/07 Since the "win" keys are rarely, if ever, used intentionally, I would like to see an option that restores full size Ctrl, Alt and Spacebar keys. The "win" keys could be moved or just hidden underneath the larger Ctrl/Alt/Space keys. This would go a long way in avoiding typos when working on documentation. Everyone knows that the logo keys are purely for promotional purposes anyhow. My laptop is my primary work tool and needs to be optimal for that purpose. 8 Comments » Make a dedicated '@' key on keyboards. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by badblood 10/09/07
Most keyboards I've worked on have the '@' symbol merged with the number 2 key. We all use @ a lot these days and I kind of think it's time that it was given its own key, or at least was in a more convenient location - closer to the shift key. The keyboard I am typing on now has two ridiculous 'windows' keys. What a waste. Why not make one of them an '@' key. At least then I'd press it now and again. Make Dell Quickset Firefox compatable Dell, Software submitted by hazel 10/07/07
A while ago, I discovered the network profile option in Dell Quickset which allowed me to have the proxy settings in my browser automatically changed depending on what network I connect to. However, it only works with Internet Explorer. As I use FireFox, i'm sure you can image that this is not much use to me. Make the dell ubuntu models available through the main webpage Dell Web Site, Linux, Sales Strategies submitted by rajeevbhatta 06/19/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Instead of having the model listings on a different webpage ( www.dell.com/open) have these models available from the product search you have on the main page or a link available through the main page (www.dell.com) Tell us what WiFi chipset a laptop has. Broadband and Mobility, Dell Web Site, Linux, Laptops submitted by tonyb2006 08/29/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Tell us the WiFi chipset used in a laptop before we buy it so we know if the WiFi chipset supports a feature we want, or if it supports Linux or another operating system that we intend to use. The WiFi chipset being like "Intel ipw2200" or "Broadcom BCM4306", or "Ralink rt2500". Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself. Submit hardware specifications to the Linux Driver Project Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux submitted by upstaked 10/05/07 **REVIEWED**
