tony - Perhaps because DELL seems more at risk for a miss, given recent concerns over DELL earnings, and their dependence on Intel - and so Michael Dell's comments are "news". CPQ, with only 10% of their earnings dependent on PCs, is less likely to be affected, so the WSJ assumed investors would be confident about CPQ.

BTW I don't believe that for a minute...
