Unhappy With Dell Computer

Business Week has an article on customer service and Dell:
All tech companies have some unhappy customers, of course, but recent surveys suggest the ranks of frustrated Dell Inc. owners are growing. Complaints to the Better Business Bureau rose 23% in 2004 from the year before, and they're up another 5% this year. And Dell's customer-satisfaction rating fell 6.3%, to a score of 74, in a survey by the University of Michigan. Dell's score puts it right at the PC industry's average for the study, in which Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL ) led the way with an 81. Still, it's a big decline, especially for a company that has often topped the list. "We've never seen a drop like this," says professor Claes Fornell, who ran the survey.
Anyone who has a Dell computer should read this article.
