Drew -
but my point is the events that occurred in Q3&4 that caused the margin erosion should not be a problem in the coming Q's
Yes, but DIFFERENT problems will cause margin erosion - in particular, ASP decline in the commercial desktop space. That will also make DELL's revenue targets harder to hit - if they go after that business they have to loser prices which drops margin and revenue, if they don't they lose share and even more revenue. They don't currently have a product which could be sold profitably at the iPaq price points but I'm sure they could bring one out.

So I anticipate a different set of excuses, but the same margin pressure.
