As many thought, once one of the major OEM's started selling Zip the others would have to follow. Dell has performed a huge transformation from the consumer to the corporate market. This is also no doubt the reason that Zip is being branded by IBM and coming standard in Compaq systems. Regards Reseller cgi.pathfinder.com While 80 percent of Internet sales a year ago were to consumers and small businesses, sales to big businesses accounted for only 20 percent. That ratio has flip-flopped this year, as 80 percent of Internet sales now go to large corporate accounts, he said. Upwards of 90 percent of Dell revenues come from businesses, with the remaining 10 to 15 from consumer sales. About two-thirds of business PCs are sold to large corporate accounts and one- third to small- and medium-sized business. The following stolen from Waverunner on the AOL board : ) Thanks Dave !
