It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware 361
robyn217 writes "Dell just confirmed today that it had acquired boutique PC vendor Alienware. Alienware's Nelson Gonzalez said that his company will continue on with its own brand, design, sales and marketing, and support, though, so Alienware isn't going anywhere just yet. Gonzalez also said that Alienware PCs would not carry a Dell logo, and that he would report directly to Jim Schneider, Dell's chief financial officer. "I think that you'll find it very hard to find the Dell name on the [Alienware] web site," he said." The rumor is now fact.

Did you RTFA? The analogy is more like Honda buying the Ferrari company and allowing them to continue building the same cars.

Ferrari is owned by Fiat. Do you prefer a Grand Panda or a Civic?
If you had ever driven or been in a Ferrari, you would know that the build quality on a new Japanese produced Honda is better in terms of the details and finish. If Honda wanted to make Ferrari cost cars, then it would and probably would do it better. Oh, and you can put a Japanese custom ricer against a Ferrari that cost 2 or 3 times more on a quarter mile or track and the Ferrari will eat dust.
