...past eight months, a team of technicians was holed up in a windowless room at Dell, testing 650 products from nearly 90 manufacturers. Their goal: to ensure that products like Sony monitors and Veo cameras--even printers made by archrival Hewlett-Packard (HP)--worked smoothly with Dell's machines. It didn't take them long to realize that Dell could build some of those products better and sell them more cheaply.

The 38-year-old whiz kid is still very much at the helm as chairman and CEO, but he and Rollins, 50, are "two in a box"--Rollins' term for an operating system that has proved hard to beat. Just ask the merged Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, whose share of worldwide computer sales dropped to 15.8% in the first quarter, from 17% in the same period last year, and which is now eating byte dust as No. 2.
