Edamo, I believe the pc is being classified as a commodity because all the pc makers offer the same thing. Dell's pc is really no different that Cpq's, who's no different than Gtw, etc. All the pc's perform the same functions. The variable left are price, delivery and service. Today, pricing and delivery is about the same for all the manufacturers. The big variable, IMO, is service. I don't think the issue of configurations really enters into the commodity issue. Reason, all the manufacturers offer the same configurations. Given what I said, I guess the auto would be considered a commodity.

The question that I have is...who wants to offer a definition of the term "commodity". One that fits the tech situation.
