For that reason they'll be able to offer their backup software as an option to be installed when people purchase a new PC. Many computer manufacturer's that I've dealt with in the past offer some customization, like RAM or hard drive but I haven't seen much in the way of software customization...especially when it is free software. I think Dell is extremely smart for entering this market before it passes them. I think Dell’s direct model is a little different because they really customize every aspect of the PC.

How about HP, IBM, <a href="http://www.mpccorp.com/" rel="nofollow">Micron</a>, <a href="http://www.falcon-nw.com/" rel="nofollow">Falcon-Northwest</a>, etc. Doesn't he know his own competitors? This service could be useful. I do love having the network services switch out work PCs because they make quick work out of transferring files and settings.
