I suspect that this is going to be getting more common. I too work at a very large company (~90K employees). We have been exclusively IBM Thinkpad for at least the past 8 years or so. I learned recently that we were evaluating Dell/HP/Apple on a trial basis, and a tech support guy I talked to noted that the Thinkpad quality had suffered since Lenovo took over. This is by no means convincing or statistical relevant information, but I would bet that we'll see more of this in the US. Especially since Lenovo's a Chinese company. How this could benefit Wave is uncertain, but it seems positive relative to conversions to Dell.
