Quoting Viv and Philip <vh_griffin@xxxxxxxxx>: > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6144782.stm > > Wow, £50 quid on the cost of a Dell machine is a fair whack considering they sell PCs cheap anyway. Thats good news anyway and will make me think more highly of Dell. I wonder if other such companies would do the same or if they would be more reluctant? IIRC a year or two back Dell did offer PCs with no operating system. I believe they installed MS-DOS 6 or something on the machines so they were not sold as 'naked PCs' as Microsoft put it as something like MS-DOS 6 is still a valid operating system even if it isn't much use these days.
