Dell now offers Blu-ray disc drive on notebooks AND desktops - Blu-ray Forum

Dell has expanded its support of Blu-ray technology to desktops. The XPS 410 desktop can now be configured with a Blu-ray Disc drive. Dell also is first to market with a slim slot-load Blu-ray disc drive, now available on the XPS M2010 mobile system.

I wonder how microsoft feels about blu-ray device drivers being loaded onto their OS? haha

As far as I'm concerned, as long as no links are given, this is purely informational. Now you know that Dell provides Blu-ray drives, and if you choose to act on this new found information, that is up to you.

It was a joke. PERSONALLY, I would encourage any advertisement concerning blu-ray to be posted here. That would benefit us! Since this IS blu-ray.com....lol However, I don't know the legality of posting advertisements here....so I won't go down that road!!!!!!!

Her is a link in Aus - so if we have everywhere else in the world is sure to have it. Only available with Vista.

I have the Dell Laptop (XPS M1710) and blu-ray playback is Very good although not perfect the PS3 does a bit better job. Burning DVD's works well - I have a BD RE (Read Write but haven't tried it yet...) M$ is out to make money at the end of the day. I don't think they would want to push Blu-ray into the arms of Apple and Linux. Unlike Sony (and friends) or Toshiba Microsoft has nothing to loose from either.

In fact Blu-ray is better suited to them - If they need a DVD to distribute a word processor and spreadsheet application, I think 50GB for office 2012 is not out of the question - yeah I forgot it will be all online by then - whoops Google is already there doing that!

Seriously as a complete system I'm very happy with the Dell, Vista and the Blu-ray drive and seem to work well together.
