Steve, MOT's first loss to Intel was due to the fact that Mot's product was almost ready and Intel's was. Neither product was specifically designed for IBM. Therefore I would have to say that Intel was in the right place at the right time and therefore lucky (since there was no planning, you can't call it skill). True, that got Intel off to a good start, but many have tried to regain control, and Intel has very skillfully fought them off. MOT's second loss was due to the fact that they partnered with IBM and Apple. Niether of whom could do anything right. In addition they took the wrong approach. Yes, but MOT would by fighting Intel on Intel's turf. Intel wrote the book on x86 and they seem to no longer share the x86 book with anyone. IBM it seems would have the best shot at Intel, but they no longer seem interested in the challenge. Dale
