As I was pondering what the writer was saying about Facebook’s strategies and positioning, it made me imagine a virtual war between consumers and companies inside the metaverse.

Dell, Windows and the Journey Continues

Okay, so the new laptop was a breeze to setup – after suffering through #Microsoft’s evolution of how to install systems software for many years, finally, a nice interface and reasonable wait times.  And #Dell made it especially easy with the way the machine was configured, packaged and shipped.  It arrived promptly and exactly as spec’d,Continue reading “Dell, Windows and the Journey Continues”
