"Why is this video hidden-away?"

So, my suggestion to Dell is

SHARE IT, DANG IT!!! ****

11/15/07		 Sorry, @jervis, but it really SHOULD be a SUGGESTION! :-D
jervis961
11/15/07		 That's fine phubert.
premcv
11/15/07		 Good suggestion.
phubert
11/15/07		 I'm already posting it and sending via email!
premcv
11/15/07		 Sending via email? Interesting!
jervis961
11/15/07		 i found it hidden in an update to a story on direct2dell.
phubert
11/15/07		 Sending the LINK, premcv! :-)

11/15/07		 i wish I could download it.

11/15/07		 Dupe?
jorge
11/15/07		 And we've known they're at #2 for some time, I have an idea on how if they don't do something they'll end up in #3.
dwood
11/15/07		 its just an idea. no biggie.

11/15/07		 Nice idea though. I like it.

11/15/07		 i`ve been getting emails from Direct2Dell on this for a few days. I don`t think they are trying to hide anything.
dwood
11/16/07		 I dont get any.
sugarbear
11/16/07		 I wonder what the deal is. Have you gone to Direct2Dell and signed up for email notifications? davmcn said he was getting several a day. I usually get a few a week, except when there is something extra going on like Oracle. Then I get more. Hey ! New idea.
premcv
11/16/07		 Interesting. I get a few a week.
phubert
11/16/07		 @dwood - You need to go to Direct2Dell and click on the link to sign up.

And, jorge, they're #2 in U.S. PC SALES. I don't think that's the higher margin portion of their business. To measure Dell as a company, one needs to look at every portion of the business. Since HP and Dell have different market focus (to some extent at least .. for example HP has the NonStop line and sells Itanium systems, manufactures its own printers, and more where Dell has nothing corresponding. Dell is clearly leading in other areas, however... which is why this video is interesting.

jervis' entry didn't suggest Dell share this, so this one isn't a dup.
premcv
11/16/07		 No, phubert, I don't feel it as a dupe too.
dwood
11/16/07		 me neither.

11/19/07		 Good idea to share further. We did post via Direct2Dell and we also have it available in our About Dell section of Dell.com, but we'll also share the keynote on YouTube. Thanks for suggestion.

Bob Pearson, Dell

11/19/07		 So, this can be tagged, Implemented, DA1?
jervis961
11/19/07		 What! No "not likely"? :D
premcv
11/19/07		 LOL, jervis! Wonder what about the other video idea! :)
jervis961
11/19/07		 Its up for deletion.
premcv
11/19/07		 Eh? Why? Not Likely?
jervis961
11/19/07		 They aren't going to do it. They made it pretty clear, no reason to linger on about it.
premcv
11/19/07		 I know! Weird, though...!
dwood
11/19/07		 That XPS one looks AWESOME!
premcv
11/19/07		 You bet!
dwood
11/19/07		 albeit it looks just like mac, only Black and not white. Now, wheres my linux?
