By itself, that is not so much trouble. What might kill Dell is the added fact that it is now in the sights of M$ activist Carl Icahn. Icahn did a terrible number on Yahoo not long ago. Much of the damage got very little press. Michael Dell needs to shake off this jackal or else he will lose the company in all but name. M$ / Icahn will leave something, but that something will not be useful or big or even capable of regrowth.
