re: "I suspect that IBM has done an analysis..."

Though they have been in the past; one thing that IBM is not now is STUPID. Do not count on it but IBM might just out-delL delL. Given they have the capability of producing the highest performing high end computers at a substantial discount from the delL cost; they just might pull this coup off.

Bill,

<Selling direct is a retail pathway, a direct retail pathway that Dell has show to be excellent, lower end user price + higher system price. Will IBM execute it well......that is the question. I suspect that IBM has done an analysis of this method and has finally decided to jump in with both feet.>

That sums it up quite nicely - At least it appears that way.

Chuck
