Supposedly COMPAQ has an immense amount of experience working with MSFT and its new W2K.

Therefore, CPQ should be excellently positioned both in its desktops and its support services to pounce on W2K opportunities.

If done correctly with STRONG & EFFECTIVE sales and marketing efforts CPQ should make Q2 (a usually weak qtr) a banner hit.
