| Dell is struggling to refind its focus. It is under investigation
| by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being sued by
| shareholders who allege it took kickbacks from chip giant Intel

By ignoring their customers' demands, they are simply committing suicide (see
below). Their PR stunt did more harm than good as it revealed that Dell's

| In a nutshell, Mike Dell fires his CEO, takes control of Dell again
| and starts "A New Era of Innovation." He has his people put up a
| website asking US what we want in a Dell Computer. In no particular
| order, the tens of thousands of responses were:
|
| Linux on the Desktop
| Dual Boot capabilities with Linux as an option
| FOSS offered instead of proprietary garbage (read OpenOffice in place
| of MS Office)
| Computers with No OS installed
| Less or even no AOL/Earthlink/Name-Your-most-hated-spyware-here.
|
| The community, upon digesting the information from the site and
| the dozens of articles resulting from said information, went Bat-Crap.
