Back in November, when they announced that Dell was taking Steam machines to stores, I was very happy. I really wanted to try the Alienware Steam machine.
Granted, I am not much of a gamer, but my gaming experience on Linux improved drastically thanks to Steam. So, I visited the closest Dell store and ask about the Alienware Steam machine.
They offered me the Alienware Alpha instead.
I made it very clear that I wanted a Steam machine, not a Windows computer with a Steam client. I want to run Linux games.
So, they got my email and promised to notify me about the availability of Steam machines.
I thought I was never going to hear from them, but they wrote to me in a matter of two days... to offer me the Alienware Alpha AGAIN!
I then wrote back, telling the Dell representative that my lack of interest on the Alpha was exclusively because it had Windows.
The guy wrote promising to give me the info in December. Well, it's December 16 already and nothing has been heard of the Alienware Steam machines...
Why isn't Dell selling Steam machines here? Is it because they want to help Microsoft boost up numbers of Windows 10?
How funny... Dell has not figured out how Microsoft treats its "valued" partners yet.

I can see absolutely no reason for Dell's restriction on selling Steam machines here (unless manipulating the market in favor of MS is one.) Some companies simply don't see what their clients want and refuse to hear them...
