Document the loss of OEM support just as hammer came out.

Sony, NEC, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens all dropped or significantly reduced AMD in '03. Toshiba and Gateway already had, during the K7 era.

IBM, early on a major supporter of x86-64, suddenly went cold on the architecture in '03.

Now, please answer the question: After the lawsuit encouraged customers to break free of Intel's chains, and after the JFTC ruling created a level playing field for AMD to peddle it's wares, how do you explain the loss of market share in terms other than uncompetitive products and poor customer relations on AMD's part?

A) The lawsuit is ongoing,
B) the JFTC ruling is not comprehensive in a global economy and could not "create a level playing field" on its own,
C) I never said that Intel's abuse of monopoly power is the only thing that affects the market.

My claims are embodied in the AMD lawsuit and will stand or fall on that case's merits, and I have never claimed otherwise.

Your claims (that the playing field is level, AMD's problems are and have been solely a result of their own product and business performance and definitively NOT a result of any anticompetitive behavior by Intel) are stated with an unwarranted 100% level of confidence.
