Interesting Memo
An interesting memo went out to Dell employees this last week that says
future Inspiron and Dimension systems that ship with CDRW or DVD+-RW drives in them will no longer include ANY media of any kind. When you first start the system you will be given an option to burn an image to CD or DVD for re-install. If you call Dell Support within the 21-day satisfaction period you can ask to have media discs shipped to you. After that they can only ship media under extreme circumstances. In fact, I was told, it would be easier for a tech to ship you a new hard drive with a PC-Restore image on it so that you can make your own discs again than it would be to ship you the media. Dell is moving towards a "Zero Media Policy" and "rumour" is that all software will be sold as downloadable with a $10 to $20 fee if you want the software shipped on media. It's gonna get interesting. |
