Please make Ubuntu XPS Notebook cheaper than XPS Vista Notebook Linux, Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by dki May 26
Hi, Offer Ubuntu Netbook Remix OS on your Ultra portables Linux, Operating Systems, Laptops submitted by jervis961 May 25
The new Ubuntu Netbook Remix OS will be announced the first week of June according to an interview with Canonical chief executive Mark Shuttleworth. Make Linux and no Operating system standard options on all future products Operating Systems submitted by jervis961 08/17/07 **REVIEWED**
OK Dell you have committed to supplying Linux options in limited form. Since you have laid the groundwork already here is the next step. Every new product you release that needs an Operating system should have Linux and also no Operating System as an option in the configuration along side Windows. Since you have to write drivers and test compatability for Vista when making a new product just make it compatable with Linux at the same time. There will no longer be a need for a seperate sections for Linux or no Operating system since all of the products will have the option. this will help make your site easier to navigate for you customers. You can also create an ACCURATE help me choose section for the OS choices. please make it available Dell Dock for Window XP user Desktops, Dimension products, Latitude products, Operating Systems, Software, XPS products, Vostro products, OptiPlex products, Desktops and Laptops, Laptops submitted by helmecj01 12:50am please make it available Dell Dock for Windows XP user Comment » Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by agreer 02/17/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
I have a XP Pro retail copy, will soon buy retail vista, I also like Linux: Make WINDOWS-FREE, and OS-Free an option for more than just expensive business lines. Linux, Operating Systems, Sales Strategies submitted by xivulon 09/26/07 **UNDER REVIEW**
There are several proposals that basically ask the same thing: SHOW UBUNTU IN THE LIST OF OPERATING SYSTEM ON ALL MACHINES [subtract $50]. And why not, add XP to the list as well. There are also many more proposals that would be made redundant IF the above was implemented. If you add them all together that is probably the most requested feature at the moment. Yes I think many of the ideas below can be merged. Operating Systems, XPS products submitted by contrast123 May 31
other vendors, I looked at, while shopping for a laptop, beatifully offered the OS system, in EITHER 64 bit or 32 bit. The world will eventually go towards 64 bit. Gateway is offering their FX gaming desktop with a 64 bit OS pre-installed. Operating Systems submitted by nivek 3 days ago
Dell should work with Microsoft to create a Authentication Software for computers that are equipped with Microphones and/or Webcams. This software would A) Be able to Authenticate a user based on voice recognition and B) Be able to Authenticate a user based on face recognition. If Dell and Microsoft work together to get this released in Windows 7, it could be listed as a major feature of Dell Machines (Compatible with Windows Authentication) and of Windows 7. This partnership would be mutually beneficial, and I only hope that workers from Apple and Apple supporters are not allowed to see these suggestions. Explain why http://www.dell.com/open now gets me to Windows stuff, but not Linux stuff. Advertising and Marketing, Linux, Operating Systems submitted by jmxz Jun 5
A while ago, Dell wrote "Dell will offer...systems with Ubuntu...available at www.dell.com/open". But when I got to http://www.dell.com/open today, I see "Dell recommends Windows Vista Business", links to a bunch of your pages selling Windows systems, and "We're Sorry". Operating Systems submitted by drewness Jun 23 At about 4pm EST today I was on the Dell site looking at laptops and desktops. I found that Dell no longer offers XP Home as of June 18, even though Microsoft's "end of life" date for XP is June 30. So one is forced to pay an extra $99 for XP Pro because XP Home is no longer an option. Dell should stop this and offer us XP Home until the "end of life" date of June 30. I hope Microsoft will reconsider scrapping XP, but I know how it will go down: we'll be stuck with Vista. At least it won't be around long- Windows 7 is due in late 2009. 12 Comments » Make XP/Linux drivers available for all model even if only Vista is pre-installed Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux, Operating Systems submitted by vineets001 09/24/07 **REVIEWED**
There are good hardware models coming out. And only Vista is pre-install option. If people want to wipe off Vista and install XP or Linux, let them do that. Make a commitment to have the drivers available. Operating Systems submitted by ramaseshanr Jun 11 Booting process gets longer day by day, as the OSes are getting fatter, The power of the processors are neutralized by these fatter OSes and we have not seen any improvement in the boot time. I would love to use my computer as soon as I switch on the system. Can any one build susch machines? 22 Comments » Windows in different languages Operating Systems submitted by hominus 2 days ago **ALREADY OFFERED**
I think you should give customers the option of having Windows Vista in different languages (spanish, french, etc.) think is very usefull because of the big amount of people from other contries living in the USA. That makes things easier for everybody! Fedora 9 on select Dell laptops and Desktops Dell, Linux, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by s33nagain Yesterday
Linux on the Dell laptops Have been amazing, so very nice. But your Linux videos completely enstate that Dell is all about choice. And, well, some users like Fedora more than Ubuntu. It doesn't have to be known this way, but some Linux Veterans lke Fedora more. And Ubuntu is more of a beginning Linux OS. I'm not saying that people who are long-time Linux user souldn't use Ubuntu. Ubuntu on all models where it works Linux, Operating Systems, Small Business submitted by jonsmirl 08/01/07 **IN PROGRESS**
I'm still throwing away copies of Windows. Recently I have ordered some Dimension 9200s from Small Business. All of these machines are running Ubuntu today without problem. They're being used to replace some PE400SCs that are starting to die. A 2GB quad core for $649 was too good a deal to pass up. It makes a great small server.

(Note to XP and Linux users: I am not against Dell offering XP and Linux as well, but this idea is specifically about Vista.) Dell needs to put back option for 64-bit operating system Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by helmecj01 May 30 Dell needs to put back option for 64-bit operating system like XP 64-bit and Vista 64-bit for all desktops and Laptops. 3 Comments » Operating Systems, Service and Support submitted by ghuiber May 28
Dell should keep product keys on record and provide them to system owners upon request. Since such requests have nothing to do with hardware service, they should be accommodated regardless of whether the system in question is still under warranty. Storing a string of letters and numbers indefinitely cannot possibly cost Dell all that much, and the request can be handled entirely online, with zero labor. A nominal fee of say $10 per request should more than adequately compensate Dell for all this trouble. Dell operating systems ISO files Operating Systems submitted by natakuc4 Jun 4
Instead of people having to go to the hassle for ordering a new cd for thier operating system when lost. Make the dell oems available to download as an iso file, obviously without a product key, the one at the back of the machine to be used in conjunction with the download. Monitors and Displays, Operating Systems submitted by aikiwolfie Jun 10 Dell please build a dual screen tablet PC similar to the XO2 prototype. And don't forget to offer both Windows and Ubuntu as OS options. 6 Comments »  feed for this view
