Acer surpasses Dell in global PC shipments

Duh! That's because just about everyone and their mother already have Dells.

As for Hp..............They have 1 F'ing person to thank for their recent success (which was essentially catapulted) and that's Carly Fiorina.

Big business sucks! The American way of doing business is disgraceful and no throats are exempt from being cut. Tsk Tsk........Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, etc etc etc.

Integrity should be key when conducting business.

@LissenUp: I wonder if you realise that as you take a nice line of bitching about modern american bussiness methods, and profess your love for Fiorina, you even understand that Fiorina was one of the first leaders to wholeheartedly EMBRACE those methods.

She was the godmother of them literally, from lobbying the congress, to being one of the trailblazers of running a major company in full accordance with those methods, to actually writing a book on them.

HP was a very solid company before she took helm. It lost vast majority of its creative talent during Fiorina's reign due to her draconian employment policies enforced from the top. It also lost over half of it's stock price during Fiorina's reign, where it's main competitor at time - dell ganed over 10%. Fiorina was to HP what Caligula was to Rome. Please, at least do bother reading on the topic you're bitching about next time.

ive never personally used a dell or acer or hp.i prefer to have a computer custom built.from what ive red on forums dell use cheap motherboards and parts and there systems arnt great and i remember reading someone post where they complained about a product they got from dell and apparently dells customer service sux aswell.

people buy acer??????

hmph. i don't trust it. when i see acer in the stores i think of e-machines.

didn't acer take over somebody (like gateway or something)? or am i thinking of someone else?

nonetheless, maybe they're doing so well b/c they are cheaper (in price) than the other two. or am i wrong there too?
