Dell's Factory Sales: End of an Era

Hmmm!! Selling out all their computer plants in order to "remain competitive." Trying to purchase Yahoo to compete with Google and take some of the "advertising market" away from Google. Saddled with a multimillion loss in sales from the "despised" Vista software that it tries to force down the throats of its consumers and ignoring all the signatures of its loyal customers to save Windows XP from being sent to oblivion! Not to mention that it already lost two antitrust lawsuits in the European Courts and two more are expected to be heard! Microsoft lost 65 million dollars in the first lawsuit and 165 billion dollars in the second lawsuit! They are still in the process of appealing those two verdicts. But as they say....good luck! Microsoft should have paid more attention to the saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Taking his cut-throat business purposes overseas and failing to know the business laws of the European nations has cost him dearly! Coupled with at least four lawsuits regarding infringement of patents here in the US. I would say that the handwriting is on the wall and not only has Microsoft been unable to deliver "new technology" but now is no longer in the black financially! The rooster is coming home to roost and Microsoft which was the number 4th largest corporation in the world in the year 2004 is now the 59th largest corporation in the world as of 2008. Because of the factors mentioned above, the corporation could very well be sold out to another corporation because it is headed to the path of bankruptcy!
