Secondly, most of the buisness market is using the Office & for now they are not working good together.

May 10		 yes they use office, but why couldn't they use open office. If dell pre-sinall it it be a good it to have open office most famous.

Recommend it on the Dell website, but not pre-install it. At least, not for me, thanks :)

May 11		 Hey, the real reason this is not going to get done is because Dell has a deal with Microsoft that compel them to install either Office or Works on every machine they sell.

I also believe they have to install Windows on everything except servers.

Otherwise, they don't get the best price from Microsoft for Windows licenses.
