Dell: Trouble Galore
Dell must be feeling the heat from all the press surounding its failure to meet its Q1 profit forecast recently. At least, the press thinks that way. We actually have full-scale coverage from news organizations like the Economist and CRN, but I presume this is barely the tip of the iceberg if Dell misses another profit forecast.
Anyway, this pressure might be getting to the head of Dell’s competitors as well. We have Hewlett-Packard claiming that it is striking some serious blows to Dell’s dominance - citing its success at luring a number of big businesses away from Dell.
And… that’s it. Yes, that’s all we’ll be talking about concerning this issue until the next quarter (at least).
