Jim -
CPQ has $7B in cash, gets another $2.7B from DEC after the merger (counting the $700M cash from the Intel settlement). I don't think they will have a cash shortage, the DEC purchase is almost cash neutral, as has been covered extensively here and elsewhere. They also get an additional $1.5B in tax carryforward credit to use in upcoming years.
BTW the price protection comes out of contra-revenue so it shows up as increased SG&A and does not affect cash. Does affect profits though...
