Jim,

re: I wonder when MS will start putting the squeeze on Intel for cheaper chips.

Every manufacturer "puts the squeeze" on every supplier, all the time. There are few if any exceptions, it's the nature of business.

Say you spend $100 for a product. The finished goods manufacturer, all the component manufacturers, the packaging manufacturer, the media companies that sell the advertising, the shipping companies that move the product, the retailers that sell you the product, every one of those guys are hustling against each other to get another penny or dime or buck of that $100 cash that you spent for the end product, and to screw the other guy out of his penny or dime or buck of profit. It's the dance of commerce.

When you say "I wonder when MS will start putting the squeeze on Intel for cheaper chips", it just show that you don't understand business. Microsoft is always trying to take a buck or two out of Intel's pocket and put it into Microsoft's pocket.
