From Yhoo(CNET) news....
<<<<Next week, the PC firm plans to unveil a new server line during an event in New York. Perhaps more importantly, Compaq will share its
new strategy for serving large customers and will introduce a significantly revamped enterprise group.
Tuesday's event is important for Compaq as it tries to salvage a miserable year. >>>
Sorry, a previous appointment prevents me from attending
this display on Tuesday,Aug 17th, some other time perhaps ? 2003,2004 ?

Best-Selling Servers -- Percentage Of Resellers Citing Each Vendor

"Aug. 13, 1999 (Computer Reseller News - CMP via COMTEX) -- Compaq maintains a strong position in the small- and midsize-company server market-stronger than even white box systems.

Note: List is not all-inclusive
Base: 110 to 150 responding resellers per month

If you will re-read your post, you will see the words "In contrast to the small and midsize company server market, white boxes.....

Looks like Dell may be number one in the desktop market (home computers), but CPQ continues to outsell in the small to midsize company market.
