I think that if Dell ships a lot of FC it will be because of good pricing rather than good partners. Dell is much too commodity-oriented to sell on the basis of quality. From a corporate purchasing perspective, their e-commerce solution is unparalleled and believe it or not, corporate end users typically couldn't care less about what's in the box as long it works and it's supported. At Networld+Interop last month, Michael Dell summarized it himself, if someone's selling for less than Dell something's got to missing. And, he's absolutely correct, IMO. Open a competitor's box and the motherboard probably won't be there.<g>
