And what's the most popular idea with currently over 65,000 votes?

Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot

Offer the 3 top free Linux versions for free pre-installation on all Dell PCs.

Quality free and open source software drastically lowers the cost of new PCs, and helps prevent software piracy. For example OpenOffice.org, the Microsoft Office alternative, can shave hundreds of dollars off the price of a new PC. Cast your vote for OpenOffice and other free software.

Offer easy multi-boot options with Windows Vista, Windows XP, or NO Windows (yes, Linux can entirely replace Windows!)

Offer trade-ins and Linux CDs for older model Dell PCs. Cast your vote for the mini Linux Dell PC and the Universal Education Dell PC, both utilizing free software.

[QUOTE] As for this wave of support for the Linux desktop, Pearson [Dell's vice president of corporate group communications] said that "We are immediately sharing these ideas throughout our company, so that our managers can determine what we should do and/or some of the ideas will trigger others. Later this week, we will start posting those ideas where we have or will soon take action."While "I can't speak specifically to Linux," Pearson said, "I can assure you it is getting full attention" [/QUOTE]
