    Does this mean Dell is struggling with sales because they are poor or because of the economic slow down.

    It means Dell gets everything on a silver platter and treats people like SH**!

    M. Dell is a sales boy, thus just as fake and annoying as the company itself.

    Dell appear to be in some sort of dream world at the moment cutting jobs etc and moving operations to cheaper lands (UK's machines are made in Poland now, not Limerick ROI).
    In my eyes as a techy who recommends their machines to clients they are falling short on quality and now also on lead times. Take for example a recent order. 13 workstations. Nothing fancy, but the order took 3 weeks to fulfil from their plant in Poland.
    Yes there may be a requirement to cut costs to put the company back in profit, but I don't see competitors like HP having to make these sorts of cuts to stay in the black....

    HP that recently shut down their plant in Bishopton, costing 450 jobs?

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.
