rudedog, re: If MSD does not play ball and give the vendors what they want, he will have a shortage. If he does, he will alter DELL's model going forward, maybe for years. Between a Rock and a Hard Place, as we say here in Texas.

First, Dell's model is unaffected by long term contracts. Second, the LCD shortage was the issue being addressed and the deal was with S. Korea not Taiwan. It did not have the appearance of "a rock and a hard place" deal to me; and the $200 million up front cash from a cash cow like Dell was an Intel like strategic move.
Cheers
Mike
