FOSS\Freeware Repository

180 points posted to Sales Strategies, Software by paddy2k 02/28/07

If Dell provided a Start Center that offered users the option to install different types of Freeware and Open Source Software, eg Internet browsers etc.

This would give new users visibility of alternatives to the current applications that are bundled with the OS or hold the dominant market share.

This "repository" (for a better word) could be styled on the Package Managers of Fedora/Ubuntu etc and could be written so that it would be cross platform and available to both Windows and GNU/Linux users.
