Perish the thought….I called the Home office department. I asked the representative if I could buy one of the ubuntu computers for my company. She said (and I quote), “these Dell computers are designed for personal use only, as long as you use it for personal use, you can purchase one.”… Next, I tried to buy it on our business credit card. They would have none of that. She told me that I had to buy it through a personal card…. I really wanted to support Dell and I am just blown away that they would REFUSE MY MONEY because I was buying it to use for a business. What company goes around telling its customers how they can use their products? What business model does that fall under?Answer: a lame one. Now, to Dell’s credit, it’s at least selling Ubuntu (if only for Home and Home Office use). It’s ahead of the pack on this. But why not let the market decide where Ubuntu will go today? Or was that part of some agreement with Microsoft? “We’ll only let individual Linux freaks buy Ubuntu – we won’t let corporate Linux freaks buy it.” Muppets. Open Source
