Some interesting news from Fortune Magazine today, as they discussed the upcoming switch to Intel chipsets for Apple computers with Michael Dell – who, notably – said he’d be interested in licensing Apple’s Mac OS.

Up until this point, many computer corporations have been weary of offending Microsoft by offering alternative products – but lately, Dell has been paving the way in offering their customers choices. Most recently, they’ve offered bundling their server line with Linux, an operating system rivaled by Microsoft. Their strategy remains unchanged to this day – as shown by their openness to license Apple’s software.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in a recent e-mail to David Kirkpatrick, a staff writer for Fortune Magazine. It's the first time any PC industry executive has candidly revealed interest for selling computers with Apple's Mac OS.

However, don’t hold your breath for Apple flavored Dell’s – licensing of their OS won’t occur until Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, gives the okay. In recent press releases, Jobs remains uptight when it comes to licensing to other companies. For now, Apple plans to release Intel supported machines manufactured on its own in the upcoming years.

What Dell Support Thinks of Dell

What Dell Support Thinks of Dell 03/30/2005 04:59 PM

In an InfoWorld Gripe Line Blog, anonymous Dell employees are asked to make their feelings known about working for Dell. As we all know, Dell moved their tech support to India and they have employees in other parts of the world now too. It sounds like the new users dumb questions and working with Windows constant crashing and errors have driven even the Indian support workers to the brink of giving up. Here are a few quotes from the above story..

Back about eighteen months ago, the comments started off pretty apologetic about the Dell support gripes readers were airing. A poster who said he or she had just resigned after six months with Dell support in Hyderabad said that Dell technicians would sometimes know right off that a problem required a replacement component, "but we are bound by company policy which prohibits us from dispatching components until we finish the script given us by Dell management," the poster wrote. "I basically felt really bad in situations wherein I had to make really old people open up their computers, and I did in fact meet people on the phone who would be in tears if we told them that they need to open their machines. 

"I too am working in Dell tech support," the poster said, saying his job had been to route calls to the proper support group. "The great thing is that tomorrow is my last day here. Great because this by far has been one of the least gratifying and frustrating positions I have ever held. Yes, there are extensive and considerable problems with Dell tech support. Their outsourcing to India is not even the least of them. Every day is a continuous assault by absolutely clueless and irate customers and an ineffective phone-based support system that is enough to make anyone crack. I'm saying that it all sucks: Dell's systems and their support and the morons who purchase them ... So many times I've had to restrain myself from telling customers who are whining about what a piece their Dell is that, hey, guess you should've bought a Mac. Goodbye, Dell!"

Mac-Dell?

Mac-Dell? 06/17/2005 05:52 PM
Dell has made some interesting announcements regarding Apple Computer in the past few weeks. Two weeks ago, the company said it is to launch a line of 'premium' PCs, which will be aimed at the growing rank of consumers relying on their home computers to manage video and music and to play graphic-intensive computer games that depend on high-spec components. This announcement marks a departure from the company's traditional line of low-cost computers and the move has been seen as a threat to Apple. Dell denied that would be targeting Apple's growing base, but did admit that it will sell specialised software. Dell also said that it hopes the new line-up will help it reach its aim of USD $80 billion in annual sales. Does this tie in to Michael Dell’s statement to Fortune Magazine today that he welcomes the notion of selling machines loaded with Apple’s software? Dell has for several years sold servers loaded with Linux, so the idea may not be entirely out of the ballpark. It would certainly be a great OS for his new ‘premium’ line of computers. "If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in an email. It's the first time any PC industry executive has openly shown enthusiasm for selling machines with Apple's software for fear of offending Microsoft. Will there be a Mac-Dell in the future? However much it seems like a longshot now, the Mac faithful are learning fast that nothing is sacred and that anything is possible.
