Every time I have to download a driver from dell
-
I have a 1235cn printer and they still haven't done any SEO so that I can just slap 1235cn into google and download away. I have to navigate through menus on their site. What is this 1998? Yes, I've ranted about this before, and no I'm not changing the title to why dell sucks today, because that would be oxymoronic.
I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon
I have simply avoided any problems with Dell by no longer using anything by Dell. There are some Dell computers and whatnot around, but I'm not the one that has to use, install or update them. One good thing about Dell though, you could have an 8 year old Dell computer with rusty components but if you go to the website and enter the PC's product code or whatever you get a list off all the drivers for the crusty motherboard and installed devices.
My current favourite word is: Smooth!

Yeah, that's the part that I used to work on, and I'm happy the guys working on it are still maintaining the old documents and drivers. Though I think a lot of their large customers would start freaking out if they even hinted at getting rid of the old stuff.

Heh... Obviously, Dell isn't enterprisy enough.

are you trying to say that dell doesn't normally "suck"?

I bought a dell pc a few weeks ago. After uninstalling all the crapware it's working great. But from your horror story I better hope I never need a driver for it. :~

Yeah, for every one thing that these manufacturers do poorly, there are 3 others that do a worse job.

full size Google image search.The drivers usually work great, I'm just bitching about having to navigate their site. Since they don't sell downloads, they don't care that search engines can't index their download page. I want one click instead of 5.

I'm generally happy with Dell, but surely you meant to say redundant? An oxymoron would be something like 'legal offence'.
Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)

Yes, redundant. That's what I get for posting late at night.

...and the cool thing is first you select Laptop on the drivers download page -> then Type, say Latitude -> then model, say E6500 -> then confirm the image, Yes that's the one -> now select OS, Windows 7 64bit -> now select category, Display -> now hit Download.... after that click 5-6 times with your eyes closed to install them... :-D
