Of course FPG has a WalMart mentality, he bought a Turdion laptop after all. So he can't understand why people don't want to get stuck with crappy systems. AMD was largely reliant on VIA chipsets back then and they were terrible. One of my friends bought a Duron @ 700mhz with an Asus VIA chipset and it gave him no end of trouble and because back then neither of us knew that much about how bad VIA were, he just attributed the problems directly to AMD and got rid of his system and bought a P4 instead. It is not hard to see why Dell were worried about people associating crap systems with them. Dell has to look out for their reputation, not fight some fanboy ideological war, where Dell is on the side of the noble AMD.
