<fyo: I think a lot of these negative comments are due to unrealistic expectations. If you compare the PIII to P4 transition to the P5 to P6 transition, the P4 actually looks pretty good. ... Like the PPro, the P4 is big and expensive. Like the PPro in its second version, the P4 will be an excellent product for a wide range of consumers.> I am not very familiar with the situation at the time of the PPro introduction. Did it have a legitimate competitor? If not (which would be my guess), I would hardly call the P4 beginning similar to the PPro. P4 actually has some competition. The relative poor performance of the P4 is something that customers don't have to buy if they don't want to. Unlike during the PPro days. EDIT: oops! combjelly already said this (essentially) FWIW, JJ
