D-Boy, <more butts in server market, he let the fools waste time and energy in the low end market.> According to industrial sources (e.g.) exchange2000.com the market for servers is around 2.5M units/year, while the rest (~80M) are apparently all client machines. Therefore the [low]end clients will always outnumber servers as 30:1 at least. It remains to be seen who are fools here: these markets are not conflicting, and they have different business models. BTW, the DELL BTO model does not fit the server market whatsoever because the main value in that market is not how fast you can screw/snap a machine but software reliability and service. Dell has none of them. Therefore, if you think the Dell is so unique and will dominate the server market, it also remains to be seen. There is still a "free" market around, and a competition around every corner.
