A ploy to boost sales of its desktop computers by requiring its laptop dealers to also sell their desktop models backfired, with an estimated 1,000 dealers across the United States pulling all ZDS products from their inventory in protest of this policy.

This had the effect of eliminating new product releases, causing sales to free fall as its existing offerings soon became obsolete.
