Dell open source computer costs $53 more than identical Vista machine

February 24, 2007

Dell’s D42N Duo, a 1.06Ghz dual core laptop is selling for $53 more without an operating system than with Vista. Aside from a “resource CD” that comes with the open source version, there’s no readily identifiable difference between the two, what a load of BS … Dell should be discounting the machine 100-300 dollars since the software is free, instead they bump the price up $53 trying to keep people on Windows.

Someone send a letter to their ad agency.
