From the November 21st interview with Michael Dell on ZDNet.

Q. How do you see the overseas market shaping up?
A. China's already become the second-largest market in the world. We're the largest nondomestic company in China, after Legend.

Q. Is that still true after Scott McNealy's announcement on Sun's deal with China?
A. I don't know what we're going to do (laughs). We're just going to have to close up shop now that Scott's there. He just continues to amaze.

Q.You don't believe him?
A. Of course I don't believe him. Do you believe him? Do you have contingency plans for the Linux momentum? We have a great Linux business. We're No. 1 in the United States. We have a great relationship with Red Flag in China, SuSE in Germany, and Red Hat here in the United States. So Linux is fully embraced by Dell.
