Times are changing for Dell too. They've long been known as an "Intel only" system provider (at least in the consumer space), but at the start of this month Dell announced AMD powered notebooks, and just a few days ago they confirmed consumer Desktops are coming down the pipe. One has to wonder if their shrinking maket share and the loss status as the only "intel-only" system provider had anything to do with it.
Now Dell is citing things like "In order to remain competitive, we have to make sure that we have [a wide] enough variety of products to meet the market demand" to explain this change, but go back a year and you would have heard them complaining that it added complexity to their process. Of course, it's part of human nature to enjoy watching others take back their words, and to that end I present to you this entertaining list of quotes compiled by Cnet. |
