jbn3 Is the "leased machine resale" a significant business for Dell? I was not aware of the impact on Dell's bottomline(not being facetious). OK, even if Dell plans to sell its used computers to the emerging markets do you not think that the consumers there would want to go for the sub-1000 pc's offered by cpq, ibm etc. Just as a reality check, 2 years ago the "hot" pc's were pentium 90's and I believe the sub 1000 pc's are pentium 166 today. If Moore's law holds do you not think that the trend would continue. I would think that this would be another market where Dell would lose out. I know that Seoul has a lot of educated people(and also that their labor cost is now as high as British labor's cost!)/ MSFT HAS been working on the internationalization issue. What is your poison? NT in Russian, Czech, JApanese, Korean, Norwegian, Arabic, or Hebrew? :)
