Andreas--- we can HOPE that will happen real soon but it is not just IBM taking mkt share. The numbers have been showing HP and especially DELL are also chipping away mkt share along with IBM. So far we have some great new products competitively priced but CPQ chased customers away and it will be 10 times as hard to get them back if they are happy with their current purchases when replacement time comes. Gerstner, Mikey and the white box maker on the corner are all smiling... everyone but CPQ shareholders...
