Financial engineering at the highest level. Dell will be studied and admired for decades.

  Dell is already studied as a case of corruption. "Intel paid Dell in the form of rebates as part of an agreement to ensure that Dell would not use computer chips made by Advanced Micro Devices in its personal computers and computer servers, according to the civil charges."[1] Dell paid the SEC $100 million in penalties, Intel $1.45 billion.

    Intel paid all major PC vendors to advertise “Intel inside” and add stickers. Famously, Apple has always refused. https://youtu.be/COAOknlfMgI https://youtu.be/COAOknlfMgI

    $1.45 billion was European Commission (EC), and Intel not only never paid that, but actually managed to fight and bribe their way to possibility of overturning it altogether. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/09/06/victory-intel-eu-court-orders-11bn-fine-re-examined/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/09/06/victory-in...

    Yeah my Dell account manager was good at acting clueless about this history when we discussed Dell's lack of AMD servers.
