I think it was a smart move for CPQ to have the inventory built up
before the Christmas selling season. Think about this way, if sales
of IBM, DELL, HP all heat up as a result of the additional sub $1000 market, Where can you get the additional manufacturing capacity in such sort period? So build up the inventory in advance is a smart move. Someone can't get enough sub $1000 fo fill
the market, but I know it won't be CPQ !!!
