Duke, not to interject in an unwelcome manner, I just want to add that I have discussed the same question with IR a few months ago regarding the progress on headcount reductions. The answer that I got was that they were going to push responsibility for P&L downward and let those managers make the decisions. Moreover, in an environment where IT staffing was scarce, they would be careful in laying off folks since the expense to re-hire was at a premium. In other words, they needed to rationalize their operations. Moreover, the reductions that they wanted to make were in places with stringent laws (overseas) where it became prohibitively expensive to do so in short order.

That does not negate the point, but it does deserve a follow up with IR at least as well as with Capellas during the upcoming analyst meeting.
