Nobody on this thread even knew about the market share loss and nobody here knew about the negative pc sales for the industry in 1998.
Michael, the market share drop, as mentioned in casual reference by IDC, was due to seasonal factors, more related to high consumer demand in the Christmas selling season. IDC stated such. Morever, DELLs market share gains y-o-y were impressive.
Also, negative pc sales was revs only, with very healthy unit growth. DELL, of course, didn't see this negative growth; revs, units, eps, or anything else...
