hi Dell_Admin1 Illuminate, Improve 64-bit Vista support Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Operating Systems submitted by gregw 04/10/07
I paid for a high-end Dell laptop and have made it last for the last five years. I want to future-proof my next laptop purchase and take advantage of some of the 64-bit Vista security capabilities. So I'd like to be running 64-bit Windows Vista (Business) and I've learned I'd need to have a 64-bit-capable CPU like the Core2 Duo. Dell should upgrade customers with Windows Vista 32bit to Windows Vista 64-bit for free Advertising and Marketing, Operating Systems submitted by helmecj01 12/26/07
I think Dell should upgrade customers with Windows Vista 32bit to Windows Vista 64-bit for free and with all the new product Dell have to Windows Vista 64-bit drivers as well or Windows XP Pro 64-bit drivers. Put the 64bit drivers back up. You will lose a lot of customers by doing this. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by majortom1981 10/24/07
You should put back the 64bit drivers. Just look on dig, your own forums, and on NEOWIN.net. People are upset at this. We are the people who recommend your computers to people who dont know any better. We buy your computers for our companies. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by jjkoch 08/14/07 It's sad to see all these core 2 duo's out there and no one is using 64 bit XP or Vista. this is mostly because of driver issues. So Dell, since there is plenty of proprietary tech in your notebooks, it would be nice to have a CD or dvd with all the 64 bit drivers you would need for your system to come with your brand new Dell. That way in case someone may want to upgrade they are ready to go. 4 Comments » Desktops and Laptops submitted by jeffcityjon 02/20/07 If your processor is 64 bit (Core 2 duo), then you should have the option of receiving the system pre-installed with a 64 bit OS. 5 Comments » Monitors and Displays, Laptop Power submitted by yardsale Jan 16 I dont know why dell hasnt done this yet. switch all monitors on desktops and notebooks to LED. did you know that you can run an LED screen at full brightniess and it uses less power than a LCD monitor at the lowest brighting level?!? its cheaper, its energy efficent, and it needs to be done! promote this, if you demote i wanna know why! 63 Comments » Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser Software submitted by robinjfisher 02/19/07 **REVIEWED**
Does what it says on the tin! Most people only use IE because they aren't aware of other browsers - they think Internet Explorer is the Internet! What would really drive take up of alternative browsers is if Firefox was pre-installed as the default browser so that when people look for the "Internet" in Windows, they are using FF. Stop Overcharging on Notebook RAM Sales Strategies, Laptops submitted by realskript 08/28/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Dell really... REALLY need to stop overcharging... and when i say overcharing... i mean atleast double what you would pay to pick up the ram yourself. Give XPS Notebooks Gigabit Ethernet XPS products submitted by croftki Feb 17 I understand that Dell market research says home users in general are not interested in gigabit ethernet for home networks. Those who pay for the premium design in the XPS line, however, are more likely to want gigabit ethernet. I would rather buy something more exciting than a business class notebook, but I want to build on my home technology with each purchase I make. XPS Notebooks unfortunately do not help me do this. It seems my only option is to buy a Latitude. 28 Comments » Pre-Installed OpenOffice | alternative to MS Works & MS Office Software, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dhart 02/17/07

I find myself many, many times in dark or poorly lit environments having to guess the various keys - would be fantastic to have a backlit keyboard - with backlit individual keys as the best option. Software submitted by ootleman 02/16/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS. There should be an option of having no trialware on all computers Software submitted by jervis961 08/23/07 **REVIEWED**
Here is a news article about trialware and how Dell feels that regular customers want it but small business ones do. Do they not look at the ideas here? Laptops, Laptop Power submitted by badblood 05/20/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
MagSafe power connectors, by Apple, are magnetic power connectors that pull out harmlessly when the cord is tripped upon. Standardize Power Cables for Laptops Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades. Automatic Dell Update Notifications. Dell Web Site, Service and Support submitted by davidshq 02/16/07 It would be really nice if Dell had an automatic update program for servers, desktops, and notebooks. It should be highly configurable but notify a user when a new firmware or driver upgrade was available. This would help users keep their systems patched. How many grandmas and grandpas are going to go looking for new drivers or firmware for their SATA hard drive? 11 Comments » Automatically Check For Dell Driver Updates Software submitted by mabeaver 09/27/07
