Makes sense to me. Dell makes no money off the OS.

Stupid question but is Linux just like Windows in the way it looks and operates?

Linux won't be a decent desktop OS until some company invests millions of manhours and billions of dollars into making it a coherent, user-friendly system.
Dell should hire several hundred first-rate software engineers to transform Linux into a high-quality application platform. If they devote the necessary resources, they could have DellOS ready to ship in three or four years.

Good news indeed. I wonder if Bill Gates will take Dell to the woodshed.
And; I hope Dell takes a serious look at product quality.

Frankly, I don't give a damn, except for the "competition is good" aspect.

Part of Dell's problem is they outsourced their tech support to India.
When SBC outsourced tech support to India they hired people who's only ability was speaking english. They gave them flip-charts. "If the customer complains that they cannot connect flip to 31b."
Such 'tech support' is worse than useless.

Dell has fallen upon hard times so has diversified to AMD processors and now to Linux. I'm glad to see this. I have worked on Dells. My favorites are the small from factor Optiplex desktops. Very good airflow and ventilation. Others copy Dell now. It's not hard to reverse engineer ventilation. But Dell was first in mass production of quiet, well ventilated computers
