<< Dell lives for the moment and that was dell strategy since the founding. IBM (and lesser so compaq) on another hand view long term horizon benefits. >>

Hehe, Perhaps Dell is having a change in corporate culture, because if they really lived for the moment, they sould have had athlons 6 months ago. (don't take this as disagreement, because I agree with what you said, just ironic how dell has acted)

<< To a degree they spend nothing and get the same rewards as ibm and compaq and that is sad... >>

There's a really good term for that, but I can't remember it at the moment ;) (the classic example I always remember is with vaccines). If half the world got a vaccine with AIDS it would help the half that didn't, because there'd be 50% less people they could catch it from.
