Fortunately, I won't need another for a few years so I can go to school off of everyone else. I hear about problems immediately because of the number of bloggers I read. They scream the minute they get held up by a computer company. The main problem seems to be when the bean-counters want to raise the quarteries by cost-cutting. The most dramatic way to do this with the least up-front problems is to cut the people who do customer contact. So there goes the quality and quantity on the help desks. The bottom line looks great, and then the drop in sales sets in a couple of years later. Nowadays, the Internet gets the word out faster, and the sales drop sooner.
