Intel would rather bring the entire market down than admit a weakness of anykind
economaniac,

That seems to be some pretty strong evidence that computer sales in Europe are just fine.

Plus, there seems to be growing evidene that AMD has done pretty well in expanding OEM presence in Europe.

I would not be surprised to seem AMD do well in Germany considering there large presence there. One cannot discount the impact of Germans choosing to buy a product made in their own country.

Also, Intel is probably not looked at nearly as sacrosanct in Europe as it is here. It is just another American company. This could explain why IBM has heretofore not marketed Durons in the US, but has in other countries.

I am sure that the Euro's value has had some impact on sales, I just don't see it as THE reason for Intel's shortfall. Intel would rather bring the entire market down than admit a weakness of anykind. Such arrogance was the cause of their downfall and it will not help them admit that they have serious problems. Good, Let them remain arrogant.
