Dell Computer: Win Xp
built 780 days ago
The overall economic slowdown of 2001, along with decreased PC sales, affected Dell and other computer makers. Dell's sales reached almost $32 billion in 2000, then remained flat the following year. The company had its first major layoff ever in February 2001, letting go seventeen hundred employees. Still, the company had many strengths. Although profits fell in the fiscal (financial) year ending in February 2002, they remained over $1 billion. The company continued to win a larger share of the server and storage markets, and it seemed poised for growth in Asia, where it has two manufacturing sites (in Malaysia and China).

Some Dell notebook computers include a special Dell MediaDirect feature. MediaDirect enables you to watch DVD movies, slideshows, or listen to music without having to boot the complete XP operating system. MediaDirect is installed in a special partition on the hard disk, but is hidden so you cannot see it when XP is booted normally. When the computer is off, pressing the MediaDirect button will boot the MediaDirect partition instead of XP.

A Dell advertising campaign for the XPS line of gaming computers featured in print in the September 2006 issue of Wired Magazine. It used as a tagline the common term in Internet and gamer slang: "FTW", meaning "For The Win". However, Dell Inc. soon dropped the campaign.
