Waiting for Dell's iPod Moment

There's a fundamental concept that you are missing: Apple is a software company. Dell is a hardware company.

Dell is tied to Microsoft on the software side. Windows is simply crap. You can dress up the hardware all you want but in the end it is still running crappy Windows.

If you want an "iPod moment" from Dell they need to take a hard look at breaking the status quo. Perhaps Dell could help out with improvements in Ubuntu Linux and start pushing that heavily on their gear. Just one idea, but they won't do anything like this because they have no guts.
