Aloha Aloha, over simplifying a situation may help your point of view but not get at
the truth.

1. Compaq has a stuffed channel
2. HWP has a stuffed channel
3. Intel reports chips sales slowing (due to CPQ,HWP clearing inventory)
4. Dell has a very good quarter

Yes I see it! Dell is rocking and gaining market share.

1&2:
A CPQ/HWP "stuffed channel" does *NOT* help dell. It screws them up
(albeit less than it screws up CPQ and HWP). It leads to a fall in
ASP since all of these companies are (rightfully) mindless about
maintaining market share.

3: How do you know its only because of CPQ/HWP. Perhaps dell's growth
is shrinking too?

4: Grant you that. Good, even gread but NOT stellar!(unlike its stock
price which IS stellar).

I am not so sure dell will keep gaining market share. hwp managed to increase
units sold by 70% with pc growth rate at 15%? Alarm-bell time for
dell(methinks...).
best
