Dell only goes where Intel goes. Next year I bet decent
entry level prices for the home drop to $599... CPQ is pretty
close now at $699 with a model aimed at institutions. I'd wager
that next year Dell has a strong sub-zero offering at ~$800 that still isn't trageted at first time buyers. It may account for
as much as 10% of Dell's desktop sales by Q4 next year which
would be about 7% of total sales.

So, the fact that Intel is going there virtually guarantees
Dell will be there. Intel's absence today with PentiumII pricing
is one of the major reasons Dell isn't.

IMO, Intel will be facing some margin pressure next year because of this. So will everybody else... the major PC vendors however
will be able to offset this to a great deal with increasing server and workstation sales. So will Intel if they manage it
correctly. By 2001, Intel's margins may drop to 45% but
they'll have revenues of $100 billion. Yeeoooooow.

steve, no need to respond... this isn't directed at you....
I know you don't agree<ggg>
