How IdeaStorm Works:
Dell Web Site, Service and Support submitted by future_maker 07/16/07
Last time I have used MyAccount on Dell.com I have failed to find what I was looking, but there was a pop-up popping each time I got back to a certain page (I don’t know what it was saying – I don’t read popups). And you did not even bother to ask me anything, like you do not care what I like dislike and I what I still want! What a waste of time! Have you guys ever been on Amazon.com? Rotate widescreen displays to portrait view Monitors and Displays submitted by kkqd1337 07/16/07
The ability to rotate displays to portrait would be VERY useful, especially for reading pdf's............ Desktops and Laptops submitted by jorge 07/16/07 Dell remove all special holes and nooks and crannies made for holding Dell logo's and go with all stickers! This will streamline your production and manufacturing as you will no longer need special holes and gadgets to hold a Dell logo button. Going with stickers makes the computer sleaker and Greener as less resources are needed for a smooth notebook back plate or a desktop front face. This also gives you more surface area to plaster your favorite Dell stickers which you love! ;) (note the extra wink for the love of it, dell mods like winks and stuff like that don't they) 2 Comments » Consider the PR implications of where your execs donate money. Advertising and Marketing, Dell submitted by jmxz 07/16/07
Yes, I realize it's their own personal money - but the behavior of execs does reflect at least a little on the company itself. When you look at where your execs donate it sadly looks like a who's who of corruption in government.
With a track record of supporting that many corrupt and scandal ridden politicians, I'd want to change my vote on the Mike Dell for President idea unless Dell (Mike) or Dell (the company) can give a decent explanation how those donations got picked. Microsoft's reputation was affected very positively through Bill Gates's charitable donations - when he decided to become the biggest Robin Hood (steal from the rich and give to the poor) character in history. It's be sad if Dell's reputation is dragged down by its exec's donations. 2 Comments » Other methods of Input please! Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), New Product Ideas submitted by timoshii 07/16/07
Ok VR was like the hype of the 80-90's well what happend? The mouse and keyboard have been around for what...since the first computer basically (excluding the ones that are really really old). I want something else for input like say VR gloves. This could be useful for many people especially ones that run proprietary software that demands precise movements such as photoshop, maya 3d, 3ds max, and gaming for that matter. I think Dell should come up with another option for input. Hey why not model it after the P5 VR glove? Its a start to see touch-screens but even those are limited. With full hand control like the P5 glove you may attract more gamers, digital artists, and most importantly me :). I know I'de buy one if Dell made one.

We need a D830 with: Dell Web Site, Service and Support submitted by massyn 07/17/07 Instead of picking an Inspiron, Lattitude or Optiplex model, give us the ability to choose the amount of RAM, CPU, hard drive, etc, and then display a choice of target systems based on that criteria. Usually the same spec machine is cheaper on a different class of system. 3 Comments » Operating Systems submitted by psychomp3 07/17/07 Vista is having multiple issue with program incompatibilities and applications not running right, XP was already stable until Vista came out and called a fuss and a whole mess of things. 21 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. Don't distract yourselves with this one until you've addressed the ideas below which have been the top-ranked ideas for at least 6 months without adequate responses..
1 Comment » Recreational Vehicle Wireless System Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Broadband and Mobility submitted by sonnys_toy 07/17/07 Looking to build or purchase a wireless external antenna system for a Travel trailer. Am planning to become a Full Time RVer and am building my desktop pc into the 5th wheel RV. Since in most campgrounds, LOS (line-of-sight) is mostly impossible, unless you have a powerfull wireless card and external antenna, your have to be near their system. Truckers have a system that ranges up to 8 mile range, but is only for a notebook. I do not have (or want) a notebook, cause it will not be able to operate my program for making signs...ie: vinyl lettering, or the printer/cutter program. Why have 2 separate computers in one RV? Looking for any and all help either from Dell or others looking for same system. 3 Comments » Drives replaced with original OS image as a standard hard drive replacement Operating Systems submitted by david_seachrist 07/17/07 Small business people do not have the time to reinstall the operating system with a tech after troubleshooting to replace the hard drive. MAJOR customer satisfaction would be gained if all drive replacements offered an OS image on the drive. Plug and boot instead of Plug, reinstall windows, reinstall drivers, reinstall windows updates..... 3 Comments » Call your customer, if your enginner is unable to visit on the day agreed Service and Support submitted by hoodamanny 07/18/07 I suggest you make it a policy, that should your company be unable to come to visit a client on an agreed date, that you CALL the customer to let them know that you are not coming. I have made two seperate appointments with your call centre only for you guys to be a NO show on the days and the only time, that I get a response from Dell, is after I call you guys... Comment » Option to upgrade to 64-bit Vista. Operating Systems submitted by impulse 07/18/07 All Dell computers have the option to upgrade to to 4GB of ram. However, the 32-bit versions of Vista only support up to 3GB of ram. An option to upgrade to a 64-bit version of vista should be available, as well as notification that 4GB requires the 64-bit OS. 4 Comments » Make 64-bit Vista the default Vista; sell XP for people who want 32 bit. Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by jmxz 07/18/07
There's an idea that 4GB+ computers get 64-bit vista Dell - please stay focused on the highest-voted ideas, though. Don't distract yourselves with this one until you've addressed the ideas below which have been the top-ranked ideas for at least 6 months without adequate responses..
pre-install VLC Media Player instead of Windows Media Player Software submitted by siger 07/18/07
I suggest this beacuse: put the original cd of windows and not a .iso cd of windows Software submitted by siger 07/18/07 it's better when the custmer has to reinstall only a part of windows such a s the master boot record Comment » translate this site in different languages IdeaStorm submitted by siger 07/18/07 i can speak englsih but maybe non english speakers want to tell their suggestion on this site 6 Comments » Dell - Let us know if IdeaStorm is still useful to you; or if you want it to just go away. IdeaStorm submitted by jmxz 07/06/07
When IdeaStorm launched; Dell sounded like it would be an important part of a new (or perhaps reborn pre-Rollins) strategy of listening to customers. Linux, Operating Systems submitted by rehtneug 07/06/07 Dell should develop it's own Linux based OS. Allow the open source community to provide drivers and any other software necessary. Partner with open source groups and provide resources to allow further development of necessary apps, such as OpenOffice. 10 Comments » Add an SSD HD option to all notebooks configurations Servers and Storage, Laptops submitted by solostian 07/06/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
As notebook mobility is becoming more and more important, battery autonomy and NOT available disk space is becoming a major decisive factor.  track my votes
