Speaking of "Dell speaking out". The following was just posted to the NASDAQ news site. I gotta add, that DELL couldn't be playing this any better. They're right on this stuff. Assuming their telling the truth, man you gotta admire how well they look after their shareholders. Most company's would keep quiet worrying about law suits and such -- in other words just watch the stock get slaughtered. Not DELL, they release several direct responses to CPQ's warning. Here it is: We are neither feeling nor creating particularly unique price pressure at this point in time," Moore said."We continue to price within our historical bands and we continue to price to our cost structure." "Basically, we're feeling about as good about our model and our direct (sales) approach as we ever have ... we're not seeing anything unusual in our business trends right now," she added. Compaq said it would initiate price cuts to clear inventory, but Moore said that was unlikely to influence Dell's business plan. "We don't tend to react to them anyway," she said.
