RE: Below is a quote from Michael. Notice that CPQ's cost are MORE THAN TWICE that of DELL!! Not ALMOST twice, but MORE THAT TWICE. How many years has it been that the other box makers said that they would go direct like Dell? How is it that Dell can have a cost structure that is so far ahead of the competition, even Gateway who is direct? To throw salt on the competition, Dell is planning to further reduce their costs by 50%. Cheers, soon to be Christmas cheers! Mike
