Shares of Apple this year have underperformed Dell Computer Corp., the PC-maker rival which is actively pursuing consumers and education technology buyers, both key Apple bases. Apple shares have fallen about 18 percent, compared with a 4 percent drop by Dell. Dell's pursuing customers has gained them customers from CPQ and HPW, not Apple, Apple's market share went up compared to last year..... see link.... apple's warning came as the retail consumer market finally turned over, and consumers lost confidence and their willingness to spend money..... including schools who lost tax base and their ability to spend...... Dell lost sales there too...... Apple only lost about 2% of sales of units from last year, even as two research firms show retail PC sales down double that or more..... Dells gains came as a direct result of CPQ and HPW's infighting..... news.com.com here's how apple has performed against dell since apple reinvented themselves and started to take back the education market and retail consumer market.... pretty amazing if you know that apple lost 60% one day, and another 30% this year or so....... Dell must have really sucked to not be able to perform better than a stock that has lost 90% quicken.com course even Dell did better than MSFT..... you can make real money if you know exactly what is going on, rather than making up stories that are not happening.....
