Cheryl - Let's do a direct comparison of CPQ's enterprise business unit and SUNW, since SUNW does not sell PCs. Last quarter, SUNW reported earnings of about $258M on revenues of 3.12B. That represents net profits of about 8.2% Last quarter, CPQ's enterprise group reported earnings of $599M on revenues of $4.9B, representing net profits of about 12%. So it looks like CPQ is 50% more profitable than SUNW, on about 50% more revenue, when you compare the business areas in which they compete. Don't you feel a little silly now about your post?
