A Modest Proposal for Michael Dell
,----[ Quote ]
| If Dell were to create a separate organisation to serve the open
| source community, one that was not obliged to adopt all the
| established procedures that have made Dell so successful in the
| world of proprietary systems, I believe it could tap into the
| pent-up demand for pre-installed GNU/Linux systems to create a
| vibrant and profitable new business division. It might also help
| the main company understand the world of Web 2.0 a little better.

Why Dell and other major hardware vendors won't do desktop Linux
preinstallation
,----[ Quote ]
| It's quite likely that pressure from Microsoft and other proprietary
| software vendors contributes to the absence of open source software
| in OEM Windows installations.
