Ian, there is some evidence that CPQ stuffed the channels -- i.e. forced resellers to take inventory. This will show up as a "sale" rather than as inventory. If this is true, then you can expect significant deterioration in CPQ's financials, because resellers will have to unload that inventory. You might pick this up as a dramatic increase in DSO (although that's a flawed metric).

Rrgards,

Paul
