accumulate the ones we do release into bundles, and notify our customers in
advance so they can plan the changes into their environment instead of
discovering them in a new shipment of PCs.�

new roadmap sharing feature provides technology roadmaps for upcoming desktop
and portable PC products up to 6 months in advance.� (Available on select products only).� Visit http://www.compaq.com/notification/
