Well, well. The cat is out of the bag. Yes, it's true!! GM is replacing their computers with cpq units. But remember, the vast majority of their computers are already cpq. So how do I know? I have a couple of relatives that work for eds in Southfield, MI. As you know eds was recently spun off from gm. But eds still provides the bulk of the service work for gm (although gm has farmed out some service work to others - just to keep eds on their toes). And eds folks are already aware of the sourcing of all gm computer needs to cpq. This is a major, major contract (in fact i'm told it is the single largest cpq contract). For those of you who have indicated a few major announcements before year end, this gm contract may very well be the start.
