<<How about 100 million Chinese buying $500 computers? >>

Ah yes the 5 billion Chinese argument. I thought this died 5 years ago. This didn't work for friggin' Coke, and its gonna work for $500 PCs?

On a non-flippant note, 100mm Chinese buying $500 computers is $50 billion. I assume that is cumulative, not annual. Dell has a $31 billion worldwide PC business. So what difference is an extra $5 billion or so of sub-10% gross margin revenue from China going to make?

Cheers
