dell sells linux computer After collecting thousand of online surveys from various country, Dell has announce the soon to be introduce Linux line of PCs for consumer. This is an interesting move considering that only a few months ago Dell introduce AMD as an alternative to Intel processor.

Such a configuration won’t soon unseat Microsoft’s dominance in the marketplace, the only person that is able to bring down Microsoft is they themselves, for example Windows would eventually evolve to a stage where it is almost perfect and there would be no reason for an upgrade. People would continue recycle and reuse older version of Windows to save cost. This would greatly impact Microsoft Revenue and future.

Giving the end user a choice between Linux and Windows is a good move but considering the fact that some people might take this as an advantage to install pirated version of Windows. My suggesting would be since Linux is free, Dell should have it pre-installed in every computer together with Wndows, this would provide the end user a choice between Linux and Windows.

Dell DJ Ditty

Its small, light, comes with a screen and a FM radio. It has more feature than Apple’s shuffle but then it failed to do what it is suppose to do – take the world by storm. Dell has officially announce the end of Dell DJ Ditty.

The DJ Ditty plays MP3, WAV, and WMA music files, as well as Audible-formatted audio books, if you compare the features, Dell beats Apple flat. I think Microsoft Zune too would face the same fate, unless it has millions of features that no one can resist. For example a TV receiver and who knows – bluetooh file sharing capability.

Dell removed DJ Ditty from its Web site on August 17, said Dell spokesman Venancio Figueroa. “We want to tighten our consumer product focus and we believe we can do that with PCs , TVs, and printers,” he said.
