Dell has been embroiled in a legal battle with web host Advanced Internet technologies for the past three years, with the latter accusing the PC maker of deliberately shipping faulty OptiPlex desktops. AIT claims to have lost business worth several million dollars as a result of the 2,000 defective OptiPlex PCs it bought from Dell. Although Dell denies any wrongdoing on its part, court documents that were recently made public for the first time in three years show that employees were aware of the defects but chose to keep them from clients.
AIT has now ratcheted up the hostilities a notch. Its latest salvo: a motion in Federal District Court in North Carolina alleging that Dell has been dishonest in sharing key documents concerning the matter, especially high-level internal exchanges, thereby violating a court order directing the PC manufacturer to produce documents written by its executives. Dell disagrees with AIT's latest accusation and hopes to file a response soon.
