Joe, Merced is a development platform. I wouldn't expect a lot of machines sold outside of developers, or some rare, early adopters. There is little infrastructure, no major OS that has been launched (from Microsoft or Enterprise Unix), and software is limited. Not only that, but you realize the performance story. Most of these things are going to vastly improve this year, still well ahead of any competition. AMD will launch Hammer early in 2003, but they won't have a major OS until at least 2004, and software isn't going to catch up until long after that. I certainly don't see the guaranteed failure that you AMDroids are predicting. But I am certain as rain is wet that you'll continue your gloating until proven otherwise, and that probably won't happen for a long time. Therefore, get your yuks now, because I'll be bookmarking every one of your idiotic posts to show you afterward what fools you all are.
