Dell has signed up the French department store chain Carrefour to resell its PCs.

The company, Europe's version of Wal-Mart, is supposed to stock the widgets in 365 stores in France, Belgium and Spain starting in January. Other stores in other countries will follow later next year.

The world's second-largest retailer after Wal-Mart Carrefour has stores practically everywhere; 5,832 in Europe alone so 365 is just a drop in the bucket.

With the Carrefour deal, its first European mass merchandiser, Dell counts 10,000 shops worldwide carrying its wares including Staples in the US, Courts in Singapore, Gome in China, Bic Camera in Japan, Carphone Warehouse in the UK and Wal-Mart in the US, Canada, Brazil and Mexico.
