So who’s the loser in this whole Dell/Sony Flambe Laptop mishegas?

Actually, there are several: Dell, Sony, Dell users’ laps and, of course IT.

Why IT? Unfortunately, you’re the folks who are going to have to test, turn in and swap out all those toasty power sources for hundreds – or thousands – of user laptops.

“This will be a time-consuming burden on the IT department,” says analyst Cindy Shaw.

“They clearly haven’t planned to do this,” adds analyst Rob Enderle.

“&^%$!” says the Help Desk.
