As long as Dell continues to make their enjoyable high end monitors I don't mind who buys them :)
Isn't that already the case? After all, I don't see Dell shipping a lot of netbook/notebook/desktops with Linux, so the only non-Windows gear is really the server line. And I can't see even a Microsoft-supporting Dell turning away a customer who wants to run Red Hat - especially as Microsoft themselves seem to be less anti-Linux at the moment.Quote:
As part of the deal “Dell would agree to use Microsoft's Windows software to power the vast majority of its devices” said on the WSJ’s sources.
Quite like Dell gear myself - especially the laptops.
Agreed I was waiting for some Ultrasharp 2013 24" models but I sense I may have to get the 2010 model afterall or at worst have a go with iiyamas 1920x1200 offerings.Quote:

It rattles and hums almost constantly and needs a large weight on top to shut it up. They really need to watch quality to keep market share.
Yup agreed. Love my u3011, best purchase I have ever done.Quote:

According to PCPro, they're buying a £3bn stake, not doing a complete takeover.
Thier PC sales have been declining... maybe because of the stuff they use inside their PCs! No sane person buys a Dell desktop!
