Dell plans to sell computers at Wal-Mart

Dell's recent moves are definitely bold ones, but in my opinion, will erase the recent slump in sales even as it lowers profit margins.

The acquisition of Alienware will also be a good one for Dell as long as they keep their attention to detail and quality of parts up for the rabid gamers. Those guys are as OCD about their gear as my son is about closing doors.

I like the recent moves and believe that this will help to cement Dell in as the dominant player in the hardware market for the forseeable future.

What do you think?

I will definitely buy a DELL Ubuntu PC to arrive in ASDA (UK Walmart). I've had problems with Ubuntu 7.04 on old hardware (and have stuck with 6.06) but i imagine DELL will make sure it works !
