<I have found, especially in industry, that far more people resent Microsoft, for many reasons, than Intel.>
Tony, opinions vary widely, depending on who you speak to. For example, Jesse Berst, the loudmouth running www.anchordesk.com at ZDNet, thinks that Intel is a worse monopoly than Microsoft. And speaking of ZDNet, most of the posts on their Talkback forums relating to Intel are very anti-Intel and pro-AMD. In my opinion, it's a very distorted picture of what the public thinks, especially since I think the minority can be extremely vocal.
By the way, most of the engineers I know at Intel don't have a very high opinion of Microsoft. (Intel Marketing, of course, has a very different viewpoint.) I have no idea what Microsoft engineers think of Intel, though.
