Hi, I have just received PCWeek (November 9) and on page one I see an article titled "Users in catbird seat as hungry PC makers battle for business", the article says "the company requested proposals from HP, IBM, Dell, Compaq and gateway Inc. (Gateway later declined to draft a proposal)...after a month of review the deal-worth $10 million to $15 million-was awarded to Dell, even though Compaq offered the best price....A lot of [the decision] was based on [Dell's] success at Internet-based ordering, although everyone offered to do it..." Another article is on Page 3 titled “Chains of Legacy distribution shackle PC makers again”. In this article John Dodge says “Dell doesn't get all the deals, but it wins a good share….DiCarlo also points out that Dell won its PC order despite putting in a higher bid…The concept that prices have moved down the IT priority list reflects a continuing trend”. I think that both of these articles speak so well to the success of Dell. You should all read these articles. Thanks Dov
