We believe that the fundamentals of our business are still very healthy, and we did beat analysts estimates in terms of our earnings, and saw an opportunity to make a little more money with some slowness in Europe and the government sector. In the second half, we're still confident that the target and goal we have talked to the Street about, the 30 percent growth, is achievable, and believe that seasonally the second half is better, and will be this year as well, |
We believe that's a very healthy growth rate for a company of our size and our complexity, |
We do not intend to chase low-end non profitable business, |
We don't see an economic slowdown. |

We drove a better balance across all price points of our products and greater operational efficiencies this quarter, and performed at the high level of execution we expect for ourselves. Our success in countries such as China and Germany shows the Dell direct business model is preferred by customers in all regions and provides us with a unique advantage and opportunity for continued growth. |
We have a 3-4 percent market share in India. |
We intend to grow and we intend to take share. We're not seeing any slowdown or any abnormal situation. |
We now have excellent balance, and the focus is on our enterprise products. |
We remain confident and optimistic about our business, |
