thanks for the link jamrock, it'll prove useful to me with some material that I'm collecting.
I suspect that in a few years, we will feel about Dell the way we feel about Microsoft today.
Microsoft became a powerhouse because they made better software than anyone else. They had a "method" that worked. They tried to gain the lead in all areas of software.
Dell has a method that works. It is now trying to gain the lead in all areas of hardware. As soon as one market matures, it enters another.

And to think that's what they call anti-competitive and wants to kill .... wonder how long before Dell may reach that stage if at all ??
