There is demand for Linux and OpenSource. And there is proof for it. I’ve just visited Dell’s Ideastorm and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the most popular request is a pre-installed Linux on Dell machines. This is a real wow. As of this writing, 31416 visitors have promoted and voted for it.
The second most requested feature is a pre-installed OpenOffice with 16168 votes. The third most popular idea is the no extra software option. And the fourth? I wouldn’t have guessed it myself, but it sure made my day. With 10136 promoters, the fourth most favorite idea is a Linux laptop that works.
I’ve heard over and over again that the reason why big players like Dell, Toshiba and Sony don’t pre-install Linux on their machines is that there is no demand for it. Now it cannot be denied that whoever said that was totally wrong. I only hope that Dell decision makers will heed the public’s request.
So glad you finally had the time to update your website! We missed you!
Hallo,
Nalipay kaayo ko nga adunay pari nga makugihong tigpamaba sa Open Source Movement diri sa atoa. Daghan kaayo kog nakat-onan Padre. Padayon sa imohang kawsa alang sa pagpauswag sa Gingharian pinaagi sa paggamit sa teknolohiya ug uban pang gamit sa medya.
