 One could argue that the deals between digium and these companies actually shoots the people who have made digium as popular and available as it is.  One could also argue that digium going into the consulting business does the same thing.  The consultants, the very people that have pushed digium products onto unknowing people,  are being put in a position where its harder for them to compete, and I wonder if that  is going to cause some attrition ...     

I think there is plenty room for all in the short to medium term. In fact,
the presence and perceived credibility of 3Com and Dell will make the
room a lot bigger. There will be more managers, in larger businesses, willing to
look at a FOSS solution.

	Of course, these two big wealthy competitors can be hard to compete with, but in the early stages of forming a market and educating it, all the competitors cooperate to grow the market and make it easier to reach.     

 The only way is through value added stuff, customizations and service.
