Stop Being A Microsoft Poodle!

470 points posted to Advertising and Marketing, Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies by aikiwolfie 05/26/08

Stop being a Microsoft poodle and start featuring some of the other products Dell carries on it's web site more prominently. I'm not just talking about Linux here. I'm also talking about all of the other great products Dell carries from other manufacturers like Belkin and Logitech.

Unfortunately however as soon as we get anywhere on Dell.com it's all "Dell Recommends Windows Vista". I find this very off putting and it ruins the whole experience of shopping on-line. I don't want to be constantly bombarded with Microsoft adds.

Making the shopping experience more pleasant for consumers helps to simplify their IT experiences by removing stress, which reduces confusion, which leads to better purchasing decisions, which results in happy customers, which generates awesome word of mouth advertising, which brings in bundles of cash for Dell and huge dividends for your shareholders!

05/26/08		 Bashing Microsoft? No, as zmjjmz points out I'm asking Dell to stop constantly bombarding us with Microsoft adds and show some of the other stuff they carry. Dell has a decent array of kit in their Electronics & Accessories section. They have more to offer than Just Vista. I and many other people aren't interested in Vista!
