By the way..pretty awesome announcements from Fujitsu...

Yep. Late last year we saw IBM and Toshiba/TDK racing to announce the first GMR drives. Now, we have Fujitsu going 100% GMR. The big question is one that you raised previously: will GMR sell well right away? No doubt, Fujitsu has positioned itself well for the future, but, for example, given an AMR disk drive and a GMR drive with the same areal density, won't a PC OEM, mindful of the relatively new and inexperienced channel assembly partners in their camp, choose the more mature AMR drive?
