When Michael Dell took back the reins of he company he founded, one of the first things he did was to launch the feedback site Dell Idea Storm. Following up on the recent Slashdot discussion of the early results of this experiment — an overwhelming expressed desire for pre-loaded Linux — Dell reports on what it plans to do with this feedback.
This should be something worth getting excited over, but there are reports that Linux-based desktops actually cost $50 more than those that include Windows. Taking into consideration that a Windows OEM costs around $100, Dell is essentially charging $150 to install a free OS!
