Meet Dell, the Software Company...

Quote:

According to John Swainson, president of Dell Software, Dell will make no bones about the fact that going forward, it will strongly favor its own intellectual property over any competitive third-party software offerings that it competes with as part of an effort to give customers a more complete experience.

Remarkable turnaround for a company once known only as a PC manufacturer.

Dell came to the conclusion that there isn't much money in moving boxes rather late in the game. But consider the fact that Dell's business plan ensured that most of the inventory was paid for by the buyers.... you placed your order and paid and waited for delivery... that is why I say that the inventory -- as well as the labor charges -- was being paid for by buyers. And of course the component suppliers were paid 30 days later so Dell lived very well on the float! Despite that, it managed to piss away its earnings on bloated corporate overhead. Conclusion: Bloat destroys float!

I only hope they don't start to make a Dell OS based on Android or something like that. :laugh:

I only hope that if they start to make a Dell OS, it is based on Android or something like that :)

Should it be named new DOS (Dell Operating System)? ;P

All are born right-handed. Only gifted few overcome it. There's NO excuse for not commenting your code.
