Dell wants to know what their customers think that they should do. They have just launched a site where you can vote for ideas you want to see in digg style. Here are some of the top ideas (highlights):

• Pre-installed Linux distro - Get a computer preloaded with a particular Linux distro, instead of Windows.
• No packaged software - Get rid of things like "AOL Free Trial" and everything else you uninstall upon first boot (this comes twice).
• OpenOffice - Ship with the open source office suit.
• No India - Do away with overseas tech support (this comes twice).
• New design - Dell computer are ugly. My family's computer is inside a cabinet because no one wants to see it.

I think that this is one big step for Dell to keep their sales up. Of course, many of there options go in tandem: Linux easily would come with OpenOffice.
