Kemble - enterprise accounts, whatever - it is still a completely meaningless number. You don't see any of DELL's competition talking about a ratio of bid to sold enterprise contracts. It's just hype, designed to make analysts and shareholders feel good. It can never be contradicted. How many enterprise contracts did DELL bid on? Did they only bid on contracts where they were likely to win, avoiding deals they were uncertain of? They surely are not getting anything like 80% of enterprise contracts for Intel-based equipment - more like 15%. Here again, I think DELL should stand on their record, not some nonsense number that has no objective basis.
