Late to the Party: Page 2 of 2

Dell isn't diving into services because of high demand (just ask its competitors). As any MBA dropout knows, services, particularly IT services, have vastly better margins than hardware.

So Dell's neither at an advantage nor a disadvantage here... It's simply a bit late to the services party.
