HWP and CPQ pretty much had the same business model re: PCs before the acquisition and were losing share. What do you think has changed in the way they're doing business now that would suddenly make them gain share?

#1 Better prices since they can attack the suppliers and demand the lowest price that either was getting on their own

#2 Hungry workers scared for their jobs working harder than ever before.

#3 the reasons they did the deal in the first place, can offer a better overall product selection.

there are probably other reasons.
