Darell: There is nothing wrong with your view. Translating the potential to Dell's revenue and profit is harder than some of you make it look like. We all agree Dell has the potential. There are not enough concrete things show that Dell is able to exploit these situations fast enough. Dell will need to build up its people strength faster than it has been doing. There are costs to be able to become enterprise business. I hope that we will see Dell will show us step by step, it is doing just that. There have been initiatives for sure. Most of us are not convinced that they are implemented a strong plan. We need to see more evidence. By the by Linux and Open Source still have a long way to become industrial strength. As per US centric, this still is the biggest game in town.
