Uh huh. Nobody ever said Dell wasn't a good company, or Michael Dell wasn't a good businessman. The general assessment here and in the press, though, was he set the standard for embarrassing obsequiousness at the Senate hearings. That probably made perfect sense, from a business perspective. The truth the markets tell us may be that embarrassing obsequiousness to Microsoft is economically rational. It may well be essential for the OEMs, as a matter of fact, given the commodity nature of the hardware. One way for Dell to differentiate, I guess.

I wouldn't know, though, I defer to Reggie as the clear expert on that particular standard. I don't think Dell had much of a handle on any other kind of truth before the Senate, but that wasn't why Bill invited him, was it?

Cheers, Dan.
