Dog,

Well we are closer to agreement.

A couple of points for your edification:

I have not been writing my posts to take responsibility for the range of possible interpretations that could be placed on them.

However, you have a point and a little extra effort at expository writing could bring the material within the range of comprehension of 90% of the possible readers. A recent example was "engineer's" response to one of my posts that was way off the mark. So misinterpretations do happen.

I am still wondering where they sold their "slow moving " product. It was not around where I live.

I have not been maintaining that CPQ stuffing is too the same extent that it stood at in Q1 but there is still a problem with the channel.
This latest XEON server situation is not healthy for CPQ.

Rudedog, can you clarify for me whether CPQ is in fact eliminating price protection on all its products? The impression I have, based on the CRN article, is that price protection is being retained on important categories of goods (workstations, servers) and even on desktops for some resellers. Not trying to start an argument, just want to understand what CPQ is doing.

Thanks in advance.

Geoff
