Joe, Re: "This whole episode of Intel spreading FUD themselves and paying people to spread FUD under disguise of independent analysis just reminds people why they Intel is hated almost as much as Microsoft." You should know as well as I that "FUD" is all in the business when it comes to any enterprise. Ford spreads FUD about GM and Chevy. KFC spreads FUD about McDonalds and Burger King. And I'm sure you can think of a hundred others. And FUD isn't always a bad thing, either. Sure, most people are going to look at a KFC ad, and not give a damn that McDonalds has "mystery meat" chicken nuggets - but KFC is still entitled to advertise that their "spicy chicken strips" are far superior to the competition. So the reason that Intel is hated isn't because they spread FUD. They are hated because they are winners, and some people just like to root for the underdog. You can be sure that AMD spreads FUD of their own - but I bet you wouldn't find AMDZone posting any of their slides! wbmw
