Interesting. I wonder how this will work as DELL attempts to penetrate the lucrative server market. These devices require more hand holding than traditional "mass-market" desktops. OG

Gary.... what MD was saying is that CPQ took on this tremendous staffing overhead that will keep them from being as profitable as DELL, since DELL will use non-labor intensive web-based tools. i.e., CPQs costs are going up, and Dell's are going down. that's why MD said: and I really like that equation - that sounds like a good way to compete to me and I'm real excited about that.
