How are the consumers consuming the repackaged
kMart-sEars brand to Mego-beHeman-olithic WALMART/CHINAMART brand?? I’ll ponder for you
…if you don’t mind. Has anyone been in a Kmart or Sears these days to get their low -cost NEEDS met …minus their latest SALES? Well, this IS thee analogy.
MicroDell – MicroDell – HI-HO the merry-O the Micro’s in the Dell? These two have a history –
In their beginnings, as expensive props to the consumer – Expensive software – on Expensive
OEM hardware. Then came the Great Divider …Walmart, er, I mean Apple. Apple chugged along
looking for The Pearl … Which HP declined, By the way, by the inventor that Apple’s Steve Jobs
saw – as the Holiest of Grails – we all, now know, what a 595B Market Cap that turned out to be!
(As a side note here, I would bet if Exxon knew what Steve knew at that time – we would have eXPads or maybe eXCapes?) To finish – What might keep these two afloat in the future would be
a strategy similar to Internet Explorer 7 – when they gave it away – FOR FREE Market share was established, and Marc Andreessen’s and Eric Bina’s Dream – Mosaic/NetScape was promptly quashed. Now Micro/Dell are in this position facing Google and Apple/Samsung technocrats.
BUT – This IS what will happen! Microsoft is BureauCratically HEAVY – still Dominant …
yet…ask IBM and Haloid, er, Xerox corps what THAT felt like – THEN.

They don’t need to “push a Windows-focused agenda” on someone else, they need to make products that are in line with today’s market.
