Dell talks shopping in Davos
Everybody wants to know what Dell is going to do to build up its business through acquisitions, but founder Michael Dell is only talking in vagaries, as is the norm at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Dell – the man – was on hand for the Forum, and took the opportunity to take a swipe at rival HP while at the same time hinting that Dell – the company – was itching to do some more acquisitions to get a bigger slice of the IT-spending swiss roll. And every time Dell, which has partnered to drive servers and adjunct hardware sales (in storage and networking in particular), buys something to boost its business, it seems to alienate another set of partners.
