Jim, The only group not profitable right now is the COmmercial PC and e-commerce Group. If they have changed focus to making profit in this section rather than trying to capture white box market share, or go head to head with Dell on price, and focus on larger businesses, then the whole company, all groups, will be in the black. How much profit and how it affects bottom line eps also depends on continued performance in the remaining groups, as well as careful handling of the balance of the restructuring costs including the layoffs.
