Posted to General because its good news :) Here is the news straight from Dell's mouth: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/ideastorm/ideasinaction?c=us&l=en&s=gen
Here is Dell's pledge to GPL drivers. http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/03/28/9655.aspx I really like the fact that they finally put up a user poll to see if people were ready for this. I also think a major factor was that people said they'd be fine with community support (which of course works faster than any support I've ever paid for in the past).
