I am still waiting for CPQ >to move! Recall that people were saying the same things about CPQ vs. IBM 7 or 8 years ago. CPQ had given IBM a beating in the PC market since IBM would not lower their prices to be competative. IBM simply figured that businesses would continue to buy the brand name, even if they paid a premium for it. After gaining a good share of the business PC market, CPQ decided that it too didn't have to be price competative and DELL came in and took over. Now DELL claims that it will not bite into the trend for the sub $1000 PC... does anyone see a trend emerging? Al
