Dell computers launched Dell IdeaStorm, a forum where you can suggest improvements to the Dell product line and vote on other’s suggestions. There’s no real surprise about what the top five suggestions are:
- Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot
- Pre-Installed OpenOffice | alternative to MS Works & MS Office
- linux laptop
- NO EXTRA SOFTWARE OPTION (clean Vista install)
- Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser
These are the same things that people have been asking Dell to do for ages, and it looks like this time they may actually be listening. The question on my mind is: Does this have anything to do with the departure of Kevin Rollins. If Dell is now going to embrace their customer base rather than just putting them through Hell they may be able to restore some of the shine to their reputation in the tech marketplace.
