Robbie... Sorry for interrupting Thread War.

The definition of a price war can have entirely different
meanings to different authors. Conflict to some persons
could mean war to others. Korean Conflict ring a bell.

"...the strategy determines actions of engagement which happens
as a result of a clash (conflict of interest) between major
interests (usually economic), which is resolved through one
party gaining an advantage at the possible expense of the other
party (ies). This creates the confrontation for engagements (corporate war)...."
-Loki's book on Corporate Strategy.

Looks to me as if CPQ and DELL have been at war quite some time.
Maybe they only called it a conflict.

In a price war no party wins short term. The one with staying
power survives.
