I am a packaging consultant and salesman. One of my accounts sells 50% of their products to Compaq. The last couple of months have been flat to say the least due to the inventory problems. There were layoffs and production lines were down for 2 months. They are back now and flourishing again. They are back to full production, have hired backed all the layed off employees plus another 10 and they are going like gangbusters again. This to me is a great indicator that the inventory problems are over and product is moving product

I don't think there is any more important customer to MSFT than CPQ. A sample of 10 or even 100 means nothing in a base of millions, what matters is if the call volume is lower rather than higher for Win98 as opposed to Win95.
