Most of your growth, though, is likely to come in quickly developing countries like China.What is your strategy there?We just introduced a new product for $349.It’s a very basic PC一not expandable.But if you want to do basic functions like get on the Internet, do word processing,E-mail, spreadsheets, that sort of thing, it works just fine.It’s for the new PC buyer~we are talking about the next billion computers一and they’re coming in China and India, Brazil, Turkey, and Russia.There is a lot of opportunity there.A cheap PC一is that enough?Analysts expect the Chinese computer market to outgrow that of the US by 2013.I‘m not sure about that.But it is growing very, very fast.We’ve grown 45 percent per year in China and we have two factories there.In China this year we are spending almost $19 billion with our suppliers.That’s much higher than what our local Chinese competitor is generating in revenues.You mean, of course, Lenovo, which took over IBM’s PC business more than two years ago.It didn’ t really work out, did it?No.They have lost market share everywhere in the world except China where they’re kind of treading water.Why isn’t Dell doing so well in Germany?Four years ago, you told Der Spiegel that you’d become market leader here by 2008.
