<<Dell said he's optimistic about PC demand because many people will buy new machines when Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 2000, makes it debut later this year.>>

The Associated Press
S E A T T L E, April 8 — Microsoft has postponed indefinitely its plans to merge its consumer-oriented Windows 95/98 operating system with the business-oriented Windows NT platform.
Instead, the company plans to release a new version based on the Windows 95/98 operating system, Microsoft president Steve Ballmer said Wednesday in a speech at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference and Exhibition in Los Angeles.

I guess Microsoft forgot to tell Dell in time for the meeting.

Mohan,
Hi!!!
RE: The challenge for Dell, Niles said, is keeping sales rising without sacrificing profits. That means Dell can't cut prices too far to win sales from rival Compaq Computer Corp. and others. ''Dell's growth rate is, fundamentally, slowing,'' Niles said.

Sure...let's believe Dan....I trust DELL and will be satisfied with the sales growth they can gain...Let's also not forget they are stealing market share from everyone each day...Compaq may have experienced some slow down..but, they also are experiencing DELL and the new servers... :o)

Best, Kemble
