May's figures even show Dell doing OK - yes, they don't always sell direct

Major PC brand names - even including Dell - dominated the UK reseller channel during May.
According to the latest figures from Context, over the 12 months to May this year, Acer was the biggest winner, increasing its market share by 57.8 per cent to 7.1 per cent from 4.5.
Acer is now the number two reseller in Europe's top seven economies.
Top of the pile by some way is still HP. Its share went up from 34 to 34.7 per cent, including as it does much of the old Compaq indirect business.
Other vendors to feature in the top six are Toshiba, Fujitsu-Siemens Computers, IBM and Sony.
Meanwhile Dell - which dines out on its direct model that bypasses the reseller community - saw its channel share move up from 3.3 to 3.5 per cent of the total market.
Context said that rise is down to strong sales of desktop PCs through UK resellers in May.
