No one, other than Kumar, could have believe that a SUPPOSEDLY prestigous company like INTC who OUGHT TO KNOW they provide market leadership DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHY THEIR SALES ARE DOWN!!

They know damn well, JDN. They're losing market share to AMD on the high end and losing margin on the low end, and they're throwing money at their uncertain future. Look at theregister.co.uk, an article that shows that INTC is running around in a circle like a man with one foot nailed to the floor, making up shit trying to figure out what to do for an encore since they have no interesting new products. Their big strategic Itanic is probably a money sink too, they're probably throwing money at that like there's no tomorrow. It will be interesting to look at the R&D cost lines on their report if they break them out to that level of detail.

The point is, JDN, they know, they just DON'T WANT TO SAY. Because they're like Microsoft: they've peaked, their day is over. The captive INTC customers know they've gotten themselves stuck to a tar baby and are looking for alternatives.

This is not a mystery. I like my AMD calls more and more (thanks chic).
