re:Loosely interpreted, a commodity business is one in which there are two or more competitors vying for market share with similar products. (In this case, three or more). One of the ingredients is that pricing is driven by the existence of competition, as opposed to a proprietary market in which one supplier is able to set prices pretty much at will. Gene, I think you better check your Economics 101 book again. There are big differences between monopoly, oligopoly, commodity, etc. and the PC market is NOT a commodity business.
