Knip, >>>Winners?.....consumers. Losers?.......Shareholders of AMD, INTC, even CYRIX
as the uP market is further diluted and profit margins shaved. Same for the
boxmakers. I'm not trying to argue any point, but simply point out that this further
drives PC's into the commodity arena. It's going to get real bloody out there, and a
year from now many players will have exited the scene.<<<

Isn't IBM a boxmaker? Why would they want to get into a bloody price war?

As far as an IBM warranty goes, a lot of good that will do you if an unreliable CPU chip freezes your system at 12 midnight. It's like having a 100,000 mile warranty on a car but it stalls and refuses to start on a deserted road at 3 a.m.
