Dell this week received much praise for releasing a new version of its “open source” PC. The computer fits into Dell’s n Series range of Windows-less systems. These ship with a copy of FreeDOS in the packaging material – but not installed on the PC – which is apparently a bizarre concession to Microsoft. While Dell garners glowing reviews for shipping such an open source OS-friendly product, the company’s new E510n actually stands as yet another example of how hard Dell tries not to sell non-Microsoft gear.
