>>A. DELL has diversified into server and storage and is not in the sole business of selling desktops.<<

the server business is shrinking too. faster than the pc business. not sure about storage - but i'd bet that sucks, too.

>>B. Worldwide, it will take a while for PC demand to significantly slow down.<<

pc growth is directly dependent on pc prices. the only way to keep pcs growing w/o component prices collapsing is to lose revenue.

we all know revenue doesn't matter... NOT!!! ;-)

While margins in the server business are much better than in the desktop business, they have been in decline for quite some time.

Dell is not immune to this.
