Luckily Dell has been a market leader in the production of reasonably
priced Intel based PCs, and providing quality support for those PCs. He
has not been a leader in the OS or software industry. He was late in the
PDA market, but still can command a decent profit there, because people
will get one when they get their PC. I wouldn't consider him an oracle
for the tech industry. I would watch the companies that make money from
software for the future of desktops. What is Adobe, AutoDesk, and many
other companies doing with their apps on the Linux front. I know
Adobe is trying to get in the game.
