The second-largest computer maker today announced its first range computers in Europe to be sold installed with the Linux operating system, as opposed to Microsoft’s dominant Windows operating system.

At the end of the day, Dell are a business, which is there to maximise profits. An open-source, free (meaning lower costs) and increasingly popular operating system compared to Windows Vista, a disappointing and shameful OS, is more attractive; to both the consumer and the company themselves.

Laura Conigliaro, the Goldman Sachs analyst, said: “Moving forward, we think acquisitions such as Zing will help Dell to offer refreshed consumer products with differentiated features and improved design – key steps in gaining both market and mind share in the consumer segment.”

Why do you think Windows is becoming more and more unpopular?
