I like this quote from a recent interview: While playing his cards close to the vest, Dell hinted at some concrete plans for the future of his company in a recent interview with Federal Filings Business News. "Our overall cost structure is much less than any competitor," said an unworried Dell. "You'll see Dell Computer continue to grow much faster than the rest of the industry," he added, noting that his company will beef up sales efforts this year in the $50 billion server market, where Dell has a mere 8% market share. Dell also outlined an ambitious plan to increase his company's personal computer presence, which currently has a 9% global market share. "My goal is for us to have a 25% market share in four to five years and perhaps 40% in seven to eight years," said Dell. That's laying down the gauntlet. Just what do you believe IBM, CPQ and others are going to do in the face of that plan?
