spinynorman Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Dell has a long history - regularly documented in these pages - of not quite getting behind Linux on the desktop. Dell Linux machines do pop up every now and again, but what desktop efforts there are find themselves first consigned to obscure corners of the operation, then disappeared, no doubt because of lack of demand. Why is this? One can surmise that Dell's closeness to Microsoft has something to do with it, but one now has less reason to merely surmise, because Linspire CEO Michael Robertson has broken cover with a few claims, and a few numbers.

Ixthusdan Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It is an irony in business that sometimes the best profet advantage today may not be the best tomorrow. Sometimes a business will look at less today for more tomorrows! Sometimes they look at lots today, and forget tomorrow. Dell is clearly the latter.
