you might want to mention to the si thread that DELL uses different legal entities to help solve sales/use tax problems

Dell has a marketing entity that is responsible for all the relationship type business that would create nexus in any state. This entity collects sales tax from the customer on all sales shipped to any state.

Dell has a catalog sales company that as the name implies is strictly for transaction type business where no nexus need be created. The customer is responsible for any applicable use tax.

Dell spends a great deal of time and effort educating the sales and support staff the appropriate responses to customers that inquire about sales tax issues. Many of the sales tax agents from various states call posing as customers interested in avoiding sales tax in attempts to catch DELL using illegal practices.
