The story "Dell names new enterprise chief as profit drops 18 percent," which ran on the wire Tuesday, misstated the performance of Dell's services business. Its sales increased 3 percent.

The sixth paragraph has been corrected on the wire and now reads as follows:

Most of Dell's money still comes from desktop PCs, sales of which were down 9 percent from last year, and from laptops and other mobility products, which were down 19 percent. Revenue from services was up 3 percent, Dell said.
