Paul, one thing that these so-called "experts" forget is that Intel is the company that is best positioned for a brave new world of sub-$1000 PCs. Volume, volume, volume, plus a little market leverage is key. Cost-cutting and integration with Celeron, Whitney, and even Timna in the future will help Intel strengthen its position in the changing PC market where high margins are quickly disappearing. And let's not forget about the 0.18 micron process, the 0.13 micron process, and the 300mm wafer technology that will help Intel "pave the silicon road to the Internet."

Plus, Craig Barrett constantly mentions the vision of a "billion connected computers" worldwide. If the replacement cycle of every computer is four years on the average, that's 250 million computers that will be sold every year once the vision becomes a reality. Now that's a volume that no one will turn down, even if the margins are razor-thin. Guess who will have the capacity to address even a fraction of these volumes?
