"Dell Computer, one of the biggest PC makers, plans to move a significant part of its IT product research and development unit from its Austin, Texas headquarters to its Taiwan Design Center (TDC), a Dell Taiwan source told DigiTimes."
Ouch. The sheer job count isn't high - less than 100 people. However, that is still some unpleasant job cuts as moves are made overseas where wages and benefits are well below those in the US. It seems to cover just about everything Dell makes, from from servers and switches to laptops and PDAs.
