Dell Pre-Installing Firefox in UK

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-they-get-battlestar-galactica-first-too dept.

seizer writes "Blake Ross, creator of Firefox, has confirmed on his blog that Dell are now shipping Firefox on all desktop and laptop machines in the UK. While rumours had been floating around before this, and UK buyers had been reporting that 1.0.6 came pre-installed, this is the first official confirmation of Dell's decision. Is the US next?"

  1. Grammar Alert: Singular Noun vs Plural Verb Usage by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    My god, this is almost as bad as the your/you're and its/it's confusion that every person under the age of 30, excluding myself, commits on a regular basis.

    Dell is a company, and as such, is a SINGULAR NOUN. Usage rules dictate that singular nouns are incompatible with plural verbs. Would you say "My mom are going to the store?" Of course not. Why, then, would you say "Dell are now shipping" ?

    Learn some fucking English, people.
