I believe that the primary reason that AMD has not had much success with the corporate market is that corporate buyers want stability. That, IMHO, is the biggest lie being perpetuated by Intel (and their stooges). There is absolutely no reason to even "offer" a sub line or a brand with Athlon in it. The other day, my friend wanted to buy a "brand name" computer for his office and decided on Athlon. He could not find one from any of the brand mfg's (CPQ, GTW, MICRON, HP) in the US, with Win2000 preinstalled. Who want's a "toy" Win9X OS on their work (or any) computer! I can't believe how easily people believe the "Corporate America does not want the Athlon (or AMD) because of the unproven brand name". If that was the case, INTC would never have toppled IBM and DELL would never have toppled CPQ! TG
