Did you see some of the amazing patents on that list? A spreadsheet patent with Dan Bricklin as one of the authors??? Wow - that's amazing, like seeing Steve Jobs or Bill Gates on a patent... And a host of other solid technology patents - ways to recover server screen shots after the server has failed, ways to secure a system even during an unexpected shutdown, methods for replicating datacenter configurations, parallel image processing, cluster patents - real, in depth research tied to real products. Compare this list to DELL - 1 patent for a chassis interlock. Demonstrates one of the key differences between these companies IMO - the depth of technical resource. The domain name list is also interesting. storage4dell.com?? sorage-on-dell.com?? storageworks4dell.com?? I'd say somebody plans on targeting DELL's storage business. presario.net was pretty interesting too... Sleuth is a pretty impressive site, I like their style.
