Scumbria - He made no mention of retail or AMD as having anything to do with the problem>

Don't you believe the ZDNet pie charts I sent you?

No EP didn't mention retail. THAT'S THE POINT!, (that he didn't mention it and there seems to be data that CPQ is losing marketshare in the retail sector.)

Well if EP claims the problem was "commercial sector" then

why doesn't Dell have a problem?

You really think the Q1, traditionally a quarter in which retail sales slow, showed okay retail sales for CPQ? And channel stuffing, a retail problem, is just a rumor we should ignore?

If I hear you correctly they had no problems selling AMD based sub $1000 boxes at a profit?
