Microsoft buys Dell Buys Dell

Yes, I know, the title of this piece is confusing but all will become clear.

The media have been full of story about Michael Dell buying back his old company Dell Computers. Partly true.

Michael Dell is, in fact, funded by Microsoft, so it's actually Microsoft buying Dell with Michael Dell as a figurehead.

I'm sure Microsoft are rubbing their hands with glee in anticipation of getting their mitts on those lovely phones, tablets, laptops and pc's; all soon to be running Windows operating systems.

But is it all too late? Dell have slipped down the rankings in recent years. Poor customer service, high prices and an outdated company perception have all served to lower profits and caused it to join other IT companies on the slippery corporate pole. And when you're on the slippery pole, there's only one way to go!
