Read The Full Story

With reports of declining interest in the PC market and less desire by consumers to purchase bundled computer systems, Unsound News has learned Dell Computer Corporation is poised to sell majority stakes to the Microsoft Corporation.

In a deal worth an estimated 30 Billion, Dell is expected to merge with the Seattle Giant creating the largest system based software manufacturer on the market.

The move has been seen as an attempt by the Microsoft Corporation to combat rising popularity of Google which has begun to invade the Internet and software industry by storm. “With the move” said trader Geoffrey McMichael, “Microsoft appears to be moving towards a new market” adding, “We didn’t expect that Microsoft would be ready to enter the hardware market, however, look for exciting things to come from this merger. It is a good day for computer hardware”.

Leopold Mercer spoke of the Dell Corporation indicating that there is a general air of excitement around the Dell headquarters with news of the merger. It is not expected that there will be any job cuts as a result of the merger given that Microsoft at present has not got the capacity for hardware development. It is expected also that Dell will be involved in the production and distribution of the XBOX line of products.

The move comes just as Microsoft is poised to produce and provide the new XBOX 360 which is set to hit store shelves in December 2005.
