This is completely true.

In the office I'm at the boss will only get Dells for some unknown reason (the hilarious thing is that he favours british brands but still gets Dell >_>),

Wee had order problems with monitors they said were in stock - what they did was completely delay the order until the monitors were back in stock instead of asking us if wee want to change monitors to get things packed and shipped.

Our boss got on the phone and threatened to switch to HP, asked em why they're fudgeing us around and ended up getting them to upgrade our monitors for no additional charge.
