The Browser Den

Dell are running an ‘Idea Storm‘ website to gather peoples opinions on what they’d like to see on their PCs. So far feedback from this site was one of the driving factors in reintroducing Windows XP as an option in addition to Vista.

Should Dell ship Firefox? Let them know your opinion.

Personally I think Firefox will be a great addition to the Dell install. Dell sell PCs to a wide demographic of home users from newbies buying their bargain of the week up to powerful desktops for gamers. It’s the newbies that are unlikely to know about alternative browsers and will benefit from the inclusion of Firefox. Unlike most of the additional software Dell install, Firefox is not crippled in any way so will make a usefull addition to the base install.

Would this make me buy a Dell? Probably not, Apple hardware suits my needs fine these days. Losing the ability to run Mac OS X far outweighs any savings made by buying a Dell. However, I’d be more prepared to recommend a company that is open to promoting choice over one that only pushes what Microsoft tell them to.
