The pact also allows Boeing (BA: news, msgs) to evaluate and incorporate additional Dell (DELL: news, msgs) products on an ongoing basis, the Round Rock, Texas-based company said. In addition to supplying PCs, Dell will provide services including asset tagging, custom software image loading through its DellPlus factory integration service, warranty and technical support.
