Michael Dell has definitely
provided us with a few
token quotes before, but his latest spurts over at a Silicon Valley dinner sponsored by the Churchill Club are amongst the best. For starters, he didn't hesitate to exclaim that "a fair amount of customers" have been unhappy with the small screens and weak innards found in
netbooks, which is definitely a perplexing comment to make when you're making ends meet (at least in part) by moving
Minis. Of course, it sounds like the honest-to-goodness truth, but we digress. The money quote came when asked about
Windows 7, as he noted that if "you get the latest processor technology and you get Windows 7 and Office 2010, you will love your PC again; we actually have not been able to say that
for a long time." We're not trying to read too deeply between the lines, but that definitely sounds like a gentle jab at
Vista, does it not? Hit the read link for the full schpeel.
