Much ado about Dell

Looks like there has been another defection to Lenovo from Dell’s Asia operations, making it the fifth such high profile defection in eight months. Coming on top of Dell’s exploding batteries fiasco and an embarrassing lawsuit over false advertising, things are clearly not going right for Dell.

As “Adam” points out in his response to the false advertising post, it possibly is ”mucha do about nothing” [sic]. “Roger” then carries the pro-Dell argument forward, claiming subsequent high-level defections are also no big deal, even going so far as to say that it points to Lenovo being the company in trouble in China: “how do u spin this my friend.. if dell so ^**(&( up in china why is lenovo taking it’s top china man???,” Roger wrote.

Roger and Adam may be right, but we here at CER are beginning to wonder just how many “mucha do about nothings” it takes to make a “much ado about something”.
