The Rich Get Richer

IDC issued a report this week on worldwide PC shipments. Most media 
outlets focused on either Dell's number one position (barely edging out 
HP) or the fact that overall sales are up -- or both. They missed the 
real story. 

IDC reported that Dell grabbed 17.8 percent of the PC market with sales 
of 5,931,000 units, while HP won 16.2 percent by selling 5,376,000 PCs. 

Dell and HP are and have been so close that, in any given quarter, 
either could claim the number one spot. It will be one or the other for the 
foreseeable future. 

Yes, PC sales are up, and that's good news. But it's not unexpected 
news, because after a long period of depressed sales the pressure to buy 
new equipment to replace aging and obsolete systems grows. A surge in 
sales is overdue. 

The real story, which most media missed, is that three very distinct 
tiers have emerged, and the difference in size and market power among 
those tiers is growing fast. 

The biggest PC companies -- again, Dell and HP -- are rapidly pulling 
away from all other players. Together, they averaged a spectacular 21 
percent growth over last year. 

The second tier, consisting of IBM, Fujitsu Siemens and Toshiba, 
averaged just under 10 percent growth. (In total unit sales, all three 
companies in the second tier were still well under HP alone; there is already 
a great deal of space between the number two and number three player.)

The third tier -- everybody else -- remained basically flat (-0.2 
percent "growth"). 

Assuming current trends, within three years Dell and HP will be 
mega-players that own more than half the market. The second tier companies 
will still be struggling to gain a two-digit percentage, and the also-rans 
will be dropping like flies.  - Mike Elgan

Why Alpha's Omega Makes Sense
Then Compaq CEO Michael Capellas decided in March 2001 to abdicate 
Alpha and adopt Itanium. A variety of factors went into the decision. With 
OpenVMS now being ported to the Itanium architecture, and not the Alpha 
platform, all of this bodes well for HP and its hundreds of thousands 
of loyal OpenVMS customers.
