Yesterday Dell also debuted a line of laptops, called Vostro, aimed at smaller companies in developing countries. The machines are cheaper because they include free software and less technology.


Dell made so many interlocking agreements with Intel and Microsoft that they are very slow at adapting to any model that doesn't include them. Dell gave up much in house expertise by outsourcing design. Now the suppliers have the upper hand because Dell can't just decide to be expert again, that kind of synergy has to grow within the company.
