<-OT->Ben Rosen (CPQ) Vs the Analysts.

Westmoreland:

Rosen,Compaq:
"Pricing pressures in the PC segment, inadequate revenue growth, and a noncompetitive cost structure are the contributing factors to our expected shortfall," he added.

Richard Chu,Cowen & Co:
"Pricing pressure in the PC segment, low growth...are standards in the PC landscape all the time. So why is it hitting compaq more?," asked Chu.

David Wu,ABN Amro:
.."I don't think the restructuring is planned ahead of time. They have a problem; they have to fix it," said said David Wu, an equities analyst at ABN AMRO. Wu. "Their costs are too high, and their revenues are too low."
