How IdeaStorm Works:
Desktops submitted by charliebird 07/30/07 I think the Small Form Factor case is the future of desktop computers. In that case size Dell needs to offer more configuration options, better selection of video cards and a competive price. An ideal configuration inside a small for factor case could be an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E6600, Nvidia Geforce LP 8600, 250 SATA Drive, 2 GB Ram, and a 8X Slimline DVD+/-RW. This configuration would suit the needs for 90% of the market. 10 Comments » License this cool patent - seems much profit can be made here. Linux submitted by jmxz 07/17/07
Wow this is an audacious Microsoft patents the mother of all adware systems Seems some of your customers don't mind the spyware built into Vista (those who voted down the linked idea here) so they shouldn't mind the obvious consequences. For those users just take the next step and take advantage of the profit opportunity they're giving you. [Why isn't there a Microsoft category to parallel the Linux one? I guess since the press describes Vista as The Best Think That Ever Happened To Linux I'll put it in the Linux category.] Dell - please stay focused on the highest-voted ideas, though.

IdeaStorm should have a visible link and explanation on the main Dell site as well as a Desktop shortcut on all new installations. Good job avoiding delisting. Idea: promote your Nasdaq negotiator. Dell submitted by jmxz 07/17/07
Impressive. On 19 June, Dell failed once again to meet Nasdaq's reporting deadlines after it failed to publish its first quarter results on time. Under Nasdaq rules, delays automatically trigger a de-listing notice, but on 27 June, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council gave Dell an extension until July 16 to get up-to-date with its filings, or see trading in its shares suspended. Guess you've got someone who convinced Nasdaq that Nasdaq needs Dell more than Dell needs Nasdaq. Now if only you could show the same strength when dealing with Microsoft - Vista needs Dell more than Dell needs Vista too. Idea - promote whomever you have negotiating with Nasdaq and put him in the position of negotiating with Microsoft to get out of their abusive (to your customers) terms in their contracts. Dell - please stay focused on the highest-voted ideas, though.

4 Comments » Ubuntu/Vista Laptop w/embedded webcam Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux, Laptops submitted by eode 07/04/07
I don't know if Dell's doing the embedded webcam thing yet, but if they are, it's not available for the Ubuntu laptops (that I've seen). It's a great feature for *any* laptop, whatever the OS. ..but I definitely want both Ubuntu and webcam on my laptop, and system76 provides those -- but I also want to support Dell and their move to support Ubuntu just as much! Try to get OSX on Dell machines Operating Systems submitted by manu08 07/11/07
I know this is a VERY LONG shot but still no harm in posting it up because I'm sure many other people out there might actually agree with this. Implemented: Ubuntu Dell is Le$$ Than Windows Dell Linux submitted by thebittersea 05/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
see comment from Erik down below... [Dell's Pricing Team] Dell List the Error Codes from the Dell Diag. CD Service and Support submitted by jorge 07/08/07
Dell List what the Error Codes from the Dell Diag. CD mean so your customers can identify what it wrong with their systems without having to call and go through at least 2 people to get the meaning of a code. Most phone support techs do NOT have the look up table (call and find out if you don't believe me) even though the manager above them states they do as they read off what the code means, yea I take up to get the answer to this.

Dell list out the expected lifetime of CPU/GPU Thermal Grease to alert users of when they sould re-grease for optimum performance. Dell list out service requirements for you computer systems like auto makers do for cars. Service and Support submitted by jorge 07/08/07 **NOT NOW**
Dell provide your customers with service interval requirements/recommendations for their computer systems. Much like auto makers list out service intervals for their automobiles, Dell list out required/recommended service intervals for computer systems! Dell submitted by dellidea_dc 07/09/07 **NOT LIKELY** Would it be possible for Dell to purchase Intel? Wouldn't that finish off HP? 14 Comments » SATA II (3Gbs) in More Hard Drive Sizes Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Sales Strategies submitted by tw9d 07/09/07
Add choice of SATA II (3Gbs) hard drives in more sizes-Charge extra if Daily or Monthly rentals of OS's for Dell hardware customers. Operating Systems, Servers and Storage submitted by jmxz 07/10/07
In the past 6 years, I can count exactly 3 days where I actually wanted to use Windows (TurboTax a few years back before my taxes got more complicated). For users who have very occasional use of an OS, it doesn't make sense to buy it; but would be better if I could rent the software in the same way I can rent playstation software from various video rental stores. Continue to supply Windows XP drivers for all systems. Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by audiofree 07/10/07 Let’s face it, Vista regardless of how Microsoft is trying to possession is not what all customers want. Some of us want to continue to use XP, it’s a lighter faster OS that does what we need. Please continue to support XP drivers at least. I want to buy one of the new 1420s or 1520s but can’t because not all the drivers are available. If you’re not going to sell the laptops with and XP option at least make the drivers available so those of us that want to install XP on our systems can. 20 Comments » Make it easier for your customers to resell unwanted software you bundle.

On a lot of our work computers you bundled a bunch of software that we don't want (antivirus software; multimedia software; and even Windows itself on many models). The Neo 1973 could be your answer to the iPhone Broadband and Mobility, New Product Ideas submitted by jmxz 07/10/07
This phone has The OpenMoko based touchscreen mobile phones and developer kits go on sale. The media is already positioning it as an iPhone rival: http://www.techworld.com/mobility/news/index.cfm?newsID=9417&pagtype=samechan Linux phone poses as iPhone rival I think embracing this platform as your answer to the iPhone would be interesting. The more technical community would love the ability to program a cell phone (in the same way you can your PC products) which is lacking in the Apple product. PS: one of your other competitors (Toshiba) already announced a linux phone this month: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2806053950.html ; but this Neo device seems better (better industrial design) to me.
