I have worked for HP and Dell…. i can say that HP is a better option than Dell… i would not say that HP is way too good in Quality, but is much better than Dell……………

Same with me, Dell does not have the Balls to layoff people, they would instead blame you and use that blame to fire you….. Cheap trick…….. i have worked for 4 years in Dell……..

I have a friend that worked for dell, they didn’t have the balls to lay him off. Instead Instead they fired him, he had been with the company for over 8 years with high reviews. He had heard that there were going to be some cut backs but it’s a cheap shoot to fire someone instead of just laying them off.

From what I understand, Dell’s profits for this last qt. were way up.

Dell is a public company with their stock trading around $14.00 a share and they have a 27 billion dollar market cap. Good luck trying to takeover Dell because 70% of their shareholders are Institutions and another 12% are Insiders. Chris O’Brien, not that it couldn’t be done but why?

Dell would be smart to sell ASAP, I bought 4 Dell laptops for my business and each one broke at on or about the same time. The power cords that plugs into the Lap Top would break every time. Really Bad Design!

Well put Chris, I agree the shareholders would rather cash out with a profit at the expense of Micheal Dell’s legacy. Oracle is getting sick! I visited their facility in Bangalore, India and they had their own compound.

Ah, but Dell is a public company. So it’s not necessarily up to Michael Dell what happens next, but to his shareholders. How much do you think shareholders care about Michael Dell’s legacy? Zero.

I’m with Jack. Michael Dell is far more interested in a place in history than he is a few extra bucks from a buy out.

HP would seem to be the more viable buy for Oracle than Dell for one simple reason: Michael Dell. Dell is still Dell’s legacy while hp really has no one similarly burdened.

Like Ellison or Gates, M. Dell certainly doesn’t need more money–he’s still in to leave his stamp on history and, if acquired, he withers away.

I don’t see Michael Dell withering away; do you?
