It appears Michael Dell is making an effort to get the company back to
it's roots, eg, providing quality service and well-built, dependable
computers.  It's amazing what you can find out when you actually
*listen* to your customers and find out what they want.  Unfortunately
this simple tenet is not understood by many companies.

I hope Dell sells a ton of Linux computers, it will be a huge win for
the FOSS community.  We might even start to see other vendors creating
Linux versions of their drivers and software from the get-go.
