RE: I saw no anayst that thought cpq's revenue would be higher than 25 billion. Revs for the Q were 7.3, Some were expecting 7.6 Margins made the differance to beat Ests. I know CPQ has 4-5 weeks of inventory. CPQ dodged the Channel inventory question which is thought to be high due to the 50% buy-in's offered to the VARs at the end of the quarter. Now the "special promotion " on selected models from participating resellers. ALL of that looks fishy to me. Obviousely it does not concern you. Or maybe it does because you are arguing with me. I am a trader. I covered my Position. I will be back. Jim
