LOL, How many times have you gone to the doctor to say hey doc, I feel
great?
I am shocked you found any positive posts in a help forum.

Dell just sells more computers, so they are bound to have more
problems.
And of course you are looking at places where people are posting
their problems. These support forums are really the place for all
the people that haven't any problems to post that they haven't had
any problems.
Are hospitals and people a lethal combination? It just seems that so
many people die at hospitals!

No, I did not overlook it.
Your "broad statment" is based on insufficient information leading to an
incorrect conclusion.
But you seem to be making a narrow judgement without any information from
other manufacturers.
If you want accurate information, you need to go far beyond newsgroups and
your own desktop.

You state you have been to dell forums, have you also looked in forums
representing the other manufacturers to get a balanced view?
My Dell works fine with SP-2.
Most problems are reduced or eliminated with a well maintained computer:

Given Dell produces the most PC's and that Windows is installed on most
PC's it stands to reason that is someone is having a problem and a PC is
part of the equation it will likely be Dell with Windows!
Try this one on.
Did you ever notice that if you add 2 plus 3 it seems like it's always
more than 4? Notice a pattern?

Been doing Dell and Windows for years. Very few problems and most of
those were my own fault.
