Re: The one thing that is unusual is that he continues calling Intel a monopolist...

Try and buy a "Corporate" PC with an Athlon in it from a tier 1 or tier 2 manufacturer. Try to buy an Athlon with NT or Win2K preloaded from a tier 1 or tier 2 vendor. Do you honestly think that every major PC vendor independently decided to deny these markets to AMD? It's not like there has ever been any hint of a compatibility problem. We run Oracle Enterprise 8, SQL server 7, and many other "corporate" and "scientific / workstation" programs on Athlons with no trace of any problem.

There is still some funny stuff going on. Intel evidently continues to be able to compel the industry to refuse to yield an even playing field to AMD - but that's OK, lately AMD is so much better that despite Intel's crooked ways, AMD is still winning.
