[ From the Company News Release] "We experienced strong sequential growth in the fourth quarter in all segments of our enterprise business," said Capellas. "This clearly indicates the growing market acceptance of Compaq's high end systems, solutions, and services which customers are demanding to build non-stop, 24x7 Internet computing environments." I think Capellas was clear and concise and without sounding like a cheerleader, he gave the forward guidance that the street will be looking for. I am sure he will expand upon this thought during the 2day analysts' conference, after all, he's got to talk about something. Simultaneously with the earnings release, this news release was issued: zdnet.com Simpler, cheaper: Meet the new PC Compaq's iPaq is the first 'legacy-free' PC targeted toward business users.
