I found this article to be little to no surprise. As the article mentions, 85% of Dell's earnings are generated from large corporate accounts. My corporate office has recently been seeking an alternative rather than stay with Dell as they have for years. This comes by "A good deal gone bad" as I was told by my superiors. I can only imagine that other companies are doing the same.

Also mentioned was the use of Intel processors rather than AMD. While this on a single PC level only amounts to paying around 100$ US more for the Intel computer causing it to be more difficult for Dell to compete with the other manufacturers but also on the corporate scale even a 25$ per machine difference can be the beginning or end when you look at the thousands of computers that my company purchases alone.

I predict that Dell will in the next few years will begin to market their systems through resellers hoping to boost their revenue with the convenience factor.

Just because Dell has tightened its rules that does not mean the others will follow suit and many will continue to send bad computers to third world countries.

PC maker Dell reported revenue of $14.3 billion and earnings per share of 40 cents, topping analysts' expectations. Expectations for fourth-quarter revenue had been $14.1 billion, with an estimated EPS of 39 cents. In the third quarter, Dell posted a dip in revenue and net income. Since then, an investment group led by founder and CEO Michael Dell announced a $24.4 billion deal to buy out the troubled company and take it private.
