Have Opera browser preinstalled

-20 points posted to Dell, Software by pingviini 02/24/07

Why not see if you can get a deal with Opera Software ASA to have their internet browser preinstalled. This makes the Dell machines more secure out of the box and Opera is widely regarded as the fastest and standards compliant web browser out there.

Opera is no faster or standards compliant then Firefox and just about all websites are designed to be viewed on IE or Firefox..

Do you really think most end-users want to hunt down a plug-in, no matter how easy it is to find, in order to do things that should just work to begin with?
