Wrong, ed. I'm not at all opposed to volume discounts. This is NOT however, what MSFT does. I'm surprised you are not aware of this. >Microsoft told DELL. CPQ/ HWP ..etc, if you buy 100 thousand copies of Office from Microsoft in one order, you will get this discount on each copy I don't think so, ed! That's not what the contracts say. They say, "If you preload this MS-application suite on every PC you sell, you get this discount. If you sell even one PC that doesn't have an MS suite on it, but instead preload one for example from Corel, you pay xx dollars more for every MS suite you do preload. Wake up and smell the coffee.
