Three, MSFT has >90% of the wintel PC market share, so it may grow only at a rate slightly
exceeding that of the wintel PC market (17% by some estimates). DELL has about 12% of the
same market, so it has a lot more room to grow and can grow at as much as 3 times the rate w/o
becoming the dominant player (about 50% of the market share, say) for the next 6 years. I
therefore agree that it is ludicrous to compare MSFT and DELL's future growth prospects. DELL
clearly has a brighter future.


With this line of logic, wouldn't all the smaller PC mfgr's have
an even brighter future than DELL since they have an even larger
potential growth prospect before they get to 50% of market share?
