    Plot - thanks for the support! To answer your questions. No, we haven’t solved the problem yet. As three-sixteen said, a bios flash fails to delete the service tag ID as Dells proprietary bios for Dimension systems are coded to retain service tag info during bios upgrades or downgrades...

    Dell Service Tag Question

    That basically sums up you're argument. You haven’t the slightest clue how fraud, identity theft and frivolous lawsuits can ultimately result in significant costs for the targeted party. Further, because Dells 'official' policy is to refuse disclosure of original ownership info upon service...
