How IdeaStorm Works:
Turn off Vista's indexing service Operating Systems, Software submitted by jmxz 06/11/07
Vista's indexing service is a drain on resources for customers who prefer a different desktop
Idea: turn it off by default; and let users choose which indexing service they want turned on themselves - either at the time of purchase or when they get the system. 16 Comments » Take advantage of the "Year of the Open-Source Desktop" buzz. Advertising and Marketing, Linux submitted by jmxz 06/11/07
The media's starting to latch on to the idea that Linux is ready for the 2008 May Be the Year of the Open-Source Desktop Dell can be seen as *THE* primary thought leader here -- just as a few years ago IBM claimed the role of Linux-on-the-server-thought-leader (even though, in honesty, Dell was probably at least as strong an advocate of Linux-on-the-server as IBM was -- but IBM wasn't afraid to go out and say it so they got much of the credit). Dell Marketing: Take the momentum you already have with Open Source Desktops and run with it. 10 Comments » Offer One Year Free Music Subscription with every Dell XPS Sales Strategies, XPS products submitted by badblood 06/11/07 Mike Dell - Buy a Plug In Prius+ and see what a difference you can make!

When calling the support center in Belgiqum: Get rid of franchises in the middle east Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies, Service and Support submitted by person8012 06/12/07 I live in the UAE and am disappointed with DELL they have franchised themselves to emirates computers who dont let you buy online or even spec out your machine online. Also they sell them to retailers over priced compared to similiar specced US machines they are over double in some cases! Also it would be easy for Dell to sell computers in the UAE as the dollar to dirham rate is fixed! I hope Dell will stop franchising itself like many other buisnesses in the UAE and provide reasonably priced machines. Comment » Give Microsoft Support in fight over the OpenSource Fiasco Advertising and Marketing, Dell, Sales Strategies submitted by jorge 06/12/07
Helping Microsoft fight the battle against the rebel OpenSource conglomerate will align Dell with Microsoft letting Dell sell computers with Vista for free or free-er than FreeDOS and Ubuntu! Making computers cheaper for customers! A win-win for Dell! Downloadable, PDF format, full technical specs for all systems Advertising and Marketing, Dell Web Site submitted by benjesuit 06/12/07 **REVIEWED**
Before I buy, I would like to have the options of downloading the full technical specifications of the system. Not just the brief specifications. Place a link under "tech specs" tab that allows you to view or download the full specification PDF file for those of us who care about and understand such things. This way everyone is satisfied. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops submitted by mherberii 06/12/07 I work in IT and I deal almost exclusively with Dell products. While they are good machines, the fact that the newer desktops are backwards (they open on the right side, instead of the left) is a source of constant irritation, and has caused me to have to rearrange my entire work area to accomodate it. I think it would save those of us who work on Dell computers a lot of frustration and heavy lifting if things could go back to the way they used to be. 1 Comment » Release the Results of your Linux survey....

Environment, Printers and Ink submitted by jorge 06/12/07 Dell Stop the madness and stop selling printers! Printers are a major end cause of major pollution. Printers use toxic inks and toner, in addition to wasting paper and reducing the tree count which is better used for other more appropriate uses. Having other Green movement to plant trees etc. is being negated by continuing to sell printers. Information processed on the computer was meant to stay on computers not converted to paper. 22 Comments » Same discounts available on Ubuntu and Windows Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by jonsmirl 06/12/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED** I'm ordering a Vista XPS 410 right now. I wanted a Ubuntu one but I'm going to throw away yet another copy of Windows. The Vista XPS 410 has $200 off today and free ship for a total of $869. The identical Ubuntu machine is $1019 plus $29.99 shipping. So today Ubuntu costs $170 more than Windows instead of $50 less. Why can't I have the same discounts on the Ubuntu machine? 50 Comments » Coat Notebooks in ENDURA Matte Black Foam Rubber New Product Ideas submitted by reg 06/12/07
Dell, Linux, Monitors and Displays, Operating Systems submitted by xiandrow 06/06/07 There has been a lot of headway in the Linux support area of computer technology in the last few years. It would be awesome to see Dell lead the pack in general Linux driver support. I would be a more regular customer! The hardware on my Dell Inspiron 1501doesn't fully support Linux. Graphics and Wireless drivers are badly needed. This is a good machine, but Vista just isn't up to par yet. 2 Comments » update drivers for Intel PRO/100 VE Desktop Adapter Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by helmecj01 06/06/07
I think dell should update drivers for Intel PRO/100 VE Desktop Adapter Give us the ability to eject a disc from a laptop's drive when it is powered off. Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by joeevil5000 06/06/07 I have heard a lot of people asking for a warning that you have a disc in your CD/DVD drive when you power it down. The best remedy for this is the ability to eject a disc even if the laptop is powered off. It would take an extremely minimal amount of power from the battery to pop open a disc drive. If the XPS M1210 can detect wi-fi networks with the power off, something like this shold be extremely simple. 7 Comments » Offer Dell Support 3.4 download Desktops, Gaming, Software submitted by helmecj01 06/06/07 I think dell should offer Dell Support 3.4 download for Dell Dimension 1100, 3000 and Inspiron 1300, B130 1501, 9400, E1705, E1405, and 640M. 1 Comment » Fuel Conservation Solution for Dell Truck Fleet Dell, New Product Ideas submitted by agswin 06/06/07 We have developed a solution for optimizing delivery which will reduce Dell's fuel consumption and costs by 10 to 15 percent.
