If Dell lasts more years as a company after choosing Banias ove Barton than IBM will have after choosing 286 over 386, you can tell me, "I told you so."

Who started this crazy notion that IBM chose the 286 over the 386? The 286 was out years before the 386 and IBM went so far as to license the i386 from Intel once it came out.

You don't sound quite so confident as when you said this.

"If Dell fails to adopt Barton it will be a win against Dell, because it will start Dell's downward slide."

If Dell's downward slide is similar to IBM's, then that would be a positive thing for the company.
