I tossed it because it has such poor support for Win98 guests (no shared folders, or other tools). I run many older OSes as guests, so I'm sticking with VMWare.
The prototype also used a reduced clock signal distribution system. Whereas traditional CPUs assign about 30% of their power budget to clock distribution, according to Bautista, Tera-scale uses only about 10%, which was enabled by having fewer "repeaters" throughout.
Sure, Dell offers Win XP — but not on the hardware you want.
Sure, Dell offers a no OS option — but (you guessed it!) not on the hardware you want (or, apparently, outside the USA).
Sure Dell offers CPU upgrade options — but you have to pay more for your laptop, and then pay more again for the upgrade.
Sure, Ideastorm is a great idea — but Dell doesn't seem to be doing much with the suggestions.
Is anyone else having problems with Dell? Does the Slashdot crowd have any ideas for me?
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!
