NW...I think this piece from Forbes.com pretty much tells it the way it is.... biz.yahoo.com

It's clear that large companies Compaq and Hewlett-Packard aren't interested in engaging in a PC price war for
the sake of market share. They can't afford to. They've got single-digit PC margins compared with Dell's 18%. If
they attempted to snag share by steeply cutting prices--as Dell has done for the past several months--they'd
probably lose money on every box they sell.

Jimbo.
