That's an excellent article. It's particularly interesting to note that
Dell will do the integration on orders of 50 or more PCs, which is
probably from orders in the region of £10,000 and up by today's prices.
Even a relatively tiny business could consider that. It was also
worthwhile noting that Ubuntu is the favourite for the desktop, and that
Dell have been working with Ubuntu on drivers.
The world has changed.
