Dell Expands the Number of Stores in China

Published by Robert Pogson February 23rd, 2012 in technology. 1 Comment

Last year, Dell announced selling Ubuntu/Linux at 200 stores in China. Today Dell announced they will expand to 1000 stores.

“Dell’s business grew 21 percent in China last year, but still lags far behind market leader Lenovo Group Ltd, which dominated one-third of China’s PC market in the last quarter, according to figures from the research company IDC.”

Planting 1000 stores should give a huge opportunity for growth. There are pictures of a “Dell Experience” store opened in Shanghai in 2009 on Flickr.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
