rudedog,
This is a very good point. I guess when you have 2 X the Revenue of another company, as CPQ does over DELL, it makes sence that their Net is a few % higher than the smaller guy.

>>BTW CPQ's margins are (were) 7 points HIGHER than Dells, also CPQ did not give up any share to dell they gained share as did HWP, it was the smaller players who lost<<

"Were" being the appropriate tense.
Were CPQ and HWP's gains in share pro rata with DELL? (I'll answer, NO.)
