Helping Dell To Help Open Source

Glyn Moody writes "Dell's IdeaStorm is turning into a fiasco — for Dell, and for open source as well. Instead of just shouting at the company to sell pre-installed GNU/Linux systems, how about helping them find a way to do it? Here's a suggestion that I've posted on the IdeaStorm site: that Dell set up an independent business unit for GNU/Linux systems, just like The Innovator's Dilemma tells us to do when faced with a disruptive technology."

"Idea Storm"

Heh. More like Sh!t Storm. Or The Perfect Storm. Honestly, how did Dell not have a clue that there were loads of Linux using technophile out there that already had a beef against them and would jump at the chance to scold them publicly for any percieved slight? BTW- I'm a linux user myself so I think it's all a little funny. Poor Dell. Cry me a river.

You missed the poll where hundreds of thousands of people asked Dell to do this, didn't you?
