Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the higher-prices-mean-higher-margins dept.

euphonaesthesia writes "In this article from Fortune, Dell CEO Michael Dell mentions that he would offer OS X to customers if Apple were so willing. The author speculates also that Apple would probably demand certain specifications. Having OS X would probably require a higher price point--this both Apple and Dell would probably like."

    Actually, to my surprise, Linux has become quite cool recently. OS X is cool maybe in the sense that U2 is cool, and to most people I know it's just shiny BS.

    OpenOffice will never be an Office killer PERIOD. Unless it's rewritten so much that it might as well be a new suite, it's just not going to cut it- it's slow, it's bulky, it's not coherent, and it's just plain messy.

    It reeks of 'someone's weekend project gone haywire', and that's never going to fly in a corporate environment.

    it is amazing they stick with that same old tired plan!

    And it will continue to work as long as you have customers dumber than you are. All you've got to remember is what Job's says today, and take out your wallet again.
