Response was so overwhelming that Dell has since stopped accepting new applications.

"Since the beta announcement we have received thousands of applications from around the world," George wrote in a new on Wednesday. "This tremendous response, on top of fantastic amount of input we have received on the Project Sputnik , has convinced us to take this project from pilot to product."

'We'll Notify Applicants Soon'

Drivers and patches are already for hardware enablement, meanwhile, as is a basic set of key tools and utilities. Coming soon are the profile and cloud tools I last week.

In the meantime, Dell is currently working on how it's going to handle the "tons of applications" it received for the beta program, George noted.
