Start A New Independent PC Company

-140 points posted to Advertising and Marketing, Dell by gear May 11

What is now clear is that DELL's biggest enemy to doing things differently is DELL.

For example, I believe that DELL cannot get out from under the agreements with Microsoft that virtually compels the company to install Windows and Office on every single PC (except servers) sold in order to get the best price or to participate in their promotional programs.

Well, what if a handful of people were to "resign" from DELL, go out and start a brand new mail order PC company from scratch (with ahem, guess who investing) to do the things that DELL cannot do?

Like offer Linux, no OS, etc.

The company can be a virtual company and buy off the same suppliers, who would be,. nudge, nudge, willing to give the new company nearly as good prices as it gives DELL.

All except Microsoft, of course.
