It was also noted that people within Dell can now officially start discussing the desktop Linux situation with customers. It’s great to see this initiative being followed through on so quickly. I was hoping for a bit more than three models, but what’s more important right now is how those three models are actually rolled out.
Yes, indeed it is a good thing. Dell mentioned that expectations for the systems is less than 1%, so it’s no wonder they are not gung ho about things. Who knows, it might just surprise everyone.
