Where do you think HP's support is? How about Lenovo's?

The one thing you could count on with dell back in the day was incredible customer service. Not do much anymore. I would like to think a CEO (not all i am sure) has the ability to not repeat others mistakes.

Michael Dell and mahogany row just did what everyone else did. Not really a 'mistake'. It did save them huge amounts of money. Upper level support (mostly datacenter support/high level corp support) stayed in US (in places like Idaho) for a time until it was consolidated/streamlined/partially shipped offshore.
I do love Dell's plan after Rollins resigned.
After four out of five quarterly earnings reports were below expectations, Rollins resigned in 2007 and founder Michael Dell assumed the role of CEO again. Dell announced a change campaign called "Dell 2.0," reducing headcount and diversifying the company's product offerings.

I suppose it is a wait and see game. But if a business has no need to move offshore it will not?

Companies make changes/move for pennies on the dollar. Keep the stock holders happy, not you the consumer.

If a corporations profits are being hamstrung by a negative business climate and the inability to turn a profit it will in fact move. They have stick holders to answer to etc. etc. maybe we should be looking at ways to make the US more corporate friendly and the people will reap the rewards of having steady jobs.

What would you suggest they do?
Give huge tax breaks? (already done) Reduce the minimum wage? (Maybe the mexicans will go home) Strip workers rights? (Which in a sense we may see in Detroit)
