1. Dell Inc. is turning to retail stores to boost consumer sales, the fastest- growing slice of the market and reclaim the No. 1 spot from Hewlett-Packard Co. (It had become the world's largest personal-computer maker by bypassing retailers and selling directly to customers)
2. It will sell PCs at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. starting June 10 to court consumers who want to see and touch PCs before buying. Wal-Mart will initially offer two Dell desktop PCs at 3,500 stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
3. It is relying on former Motorola Inc. executive Ron Garriques, who joined the company in February, to win over more consumers. He may try to revitalize product styling the way Motorola did with the best-selling Razr.
Old Chinese proverb: never the name the well from which you will not drink.
