What an ignorant post. HPs market share is NOT going down. There still are many consumer worldwide who appreciate REAL value in their products. As Ive stated before, those who complain about quality, are the first to start shopping on Dell website, then bitch when HP products are more expensive. Its about apples for apples, NOT apples for oranges. A Yugo and a BMW both have engines, steering wheels and four tires, but a Yugo sure and hell isnt a BMW. Like a Dell sure and hell isnt an HP. Our sales of HP branded Compaqs hasnt slowed in the slightest, with many older Compaq customers appreciating the superior design and technology embedded in the newer products. Weve had our units go into an IT department on numerous occasions for head to head comparisons with Dells from hell. Every one to a man said the Dells were more cheaply constructed had more off the wall parts,(buy it at the cheapest lot price with no cross compatibilty testing), and designed from the get go to FAIL in under 24 months. Ive heard it time and time again, then have seen it in real life, time and time again......
