And the nearest competitor wasn’t even close - with 18 percent. Notebook users said the same thing, with nearly one-quarter (24 percent) of the survey respondents naming Dell as the Best Notebook Brand. This leads me to believe Dell's customer satisfaction is now higher than Apple's.

They made 25 percent of all profits from computer sales last year. And they own 66 percent of the market for PCs costing more than $1,000. That's a pretty good position to be in. The fact that Dell made less money with four times the number of computers sold is pretty pitiful, really. Not to mention in customer satisfaction Dell is dismal while Apple is on top. As for Hollywood, does anyone else remember in the first season of 24 that the good guys all used Macs and the bad guys (and gals including Nina) use PCs?

In these areas that are key to a company's future, Apple always reigns number one. Profits fuels a company's future and their meager market share provides absolutely immense growth possibilities. Buy a Dell computer if you wish, but buy Apple's stock. What counts in business is profit margin, customer satisfaction and growth potential.
