Skeeter, do yourself a favor, look at the data. Dell always shows lower growth in the 4th quarter than its competitors do. I published this at least three times on this thread. And similar data for the following quarter shows that Dell always outsells it competitors. That's why the data either need to be deconstructed to seasonally adjust the numbers, or presented on a rolling y/y basis as Gabriel Dubois has done. Either way you will see a consistent picture emerging. To argue that Dell's unseasonal growth is indicative of a loss of market share is akin to arguing that a store that closes Sunday always loses market share on Sundays. CTC
