Companies should not be able to advertise on IdeaStorm

Advertising and Marketing, IdeaStorm submitted by jervis961 08/03/07

Its in the Terms of use that you cannot advertise on this site but it seems to happen from time to time with a user submitting an "idea" riddled with shameless plugs of their website or product. Dell admins seem to turn a blind eye to it even when abuse is reported so here is your chance to let your voice be heard.

If you want to keep the advertising off IdeaStorm promote this idea. 12 Comments »

Always include all software and driver reinstallation discs for free (or at least let us get the option to)... don't make us pay extra

Software submitted by winoffice 05/01/07 **IMPLEMENTED**

Always include ALL software AND driver reinstallation discs for FREE (or at let us get the option do get the for free if we want as follows)...don't make us pay extra in case that we have a disaster and need to reinstall from scratch...!

No Discs Included (Included In Price)

All Discs Included (this means everything -- all software discs -- OS/Security software/etc., and all driver discs -- this means Windows or Linux drivers or both, whatever applies -- add $0)

Other options (OS disc only, all software discs only, driver discs only, etc. -- add $0)

For some computers, Dell does not include the reinstallation discs. Even if Dell offers them, Dell charges extra for us to get them. In fact, the only time I seen reinstallation discs being offered without charge were for Dell XPS desktops with the flashy lights -- that is, the Dell XPS 600, 700, and 710 systems, for those ware the only systems to offer operating system options like "Microsoft Windows XP Media Center WITH REINSTALLATION CD".

Also, most of the time when software reinstallation discs are not included, driver reinstallation discs (such as XPS flashy lights, as well as printers and monitors) are not included either. Therefore, don't just include the software reinstallation discs -- include as well the Windows/Linux drivers for the hardware (depending on the OS purchased with the computer, if any, which in turn depends on the user's preferences).

Besides, Microsoft as well as ALL software companies include the discs when you get the software seperately, so why can't Dell do the same when the software is preinstalled...?
Customers no longer have to pay extra for re-installation media.

No Extra Software Option

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.


Check out jeremy_f's update on our current software options.

Update NVidia Drivers for Quadro NVS

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Latitude products submitted by willjwylie 04/30/07

Can we please see and update to the Dell Quadro NVS 110 video drivers for the D620. I am seeing countless problems with this card and there hasn't been an update for the driver in almost a year. Considering this is the flagship laptop for enterprise users, this video card is pathetic. 7 Comments »
