Dell sales reps need to be read up on Mr. Dell's comments. Even before I knew about this latest drama at Dell, I tried to purchase a laptop and was told to look elsewhere.
I called Dell today to see if I could order a laptop with Linux instead of a of a Microsoft OS. I was told no, Microsoft was the only choice of operating systems. I asked if I could buy a laptop without a OS and I would load my own. Again I was told, I can not purchase a laptop or any PC or server without a Microsofdt operationg system loaded from Dell. I told the Dell sales rep if I could not order Microsoft free product I would purchase elsewhere. He said "then look elsewhere". So I ordered a MAC Pro laptop a few minutes later. I think Michel Dell would be interested in knowing their sales reps are not up to speed and costing sales.
