OpenOffice begs for Dell

The OpenOffice team wrote a letter to Michael Dell (Michael Dell), asking to consider the option of installing OpenOffice.org on Dell personal computers.

This letter is the result of a huge number of requests from users received during the survey IdeaStorm , which was initiated by Dell. Respondents ask Dell to sell a PC with a preinstalled Linux operating system and an installed open source desktop software package. John McCrish (John McCreesh), head of marketing at OpenOffice.org, also told Dell to think about the financial support of software developers.

Let's think about what OpenOffice.org for Dell needs to do to give your customers what they need. We will also be happy to receive any financial support that you can provide to help OpenOffice develop further.

Regarding the pre-installation of Linux on their PCs, Michael Dell did not make any promises, but said that this option is still under consideration.

Now OpenOffice can be downloaded for free by yourself.
