"IBM will achieve that goal by shrinking inventories of finished systems, he said. In turn, IBM should be able to trim system prices because delaying system assembly means the company can take advantage of falling component costs, he added.

The first part of the program, called Netfinity Direct, will be launched over coming months and allow IBM corporate customers who want it direct contact with IBM when buying hardware or arranging configuration or other service for systems, rather than through a business partner or reseller."

What a novel idea!

Sh, just goes to show that Dell doesn't have a lock on the BTO strategy. IBM, and other PC manufactures who switch to the BTO model will cut into Dell's "playing field". I sure hope Dell doesn't suffer as a result of these new events.

I noticed Dell's stock isn't moving today. Wonder if the IBM announcement has sent the analysts back to the drawing board.

Lets hope things continue to work out for Dell and the investors.

Stock Bull
