So it's official now, Dell owns Alienware.

Thoughts/opinions?

I personally think they should split up Dell's PC market and put all the gaming stuff(XPS series) under the Alienware name, then put all the business/casual user stuff as Dell.



Oh, and P.S -- Microsoft just delayed Vista till 2007.

I never expected that. I think Dell should just eliminate the XPS line now and keep Alienware as a separate gaming subsection of Dell.

Software? I wasn't aware Alienware sold software.

A gaming rig made of the same components built by Alienware is the same as one made of the same components built by any individual.

Same site, this page.

As long as it's good, I don't care if I have to wait till 2008. XP is fine for now.

Its not good, thats the thing. It will do what OS X does now (they even re-structured their file system to match) It burns something like 800 MB or ram, and fills 7 gigs of HD space. All that for an OS that does what already can be done?

Meh. I hate Dell. Personally, I do not believe they are worth the money, due to stupid manufacturing, and limitations to upgradability.

edit- Da Hui, why don't you contribute to a thread for once instead of clicking the quote button?
