<Intel had its own problems trying to move customers to Slot 1, and they're supposed to be the "800 lb. gorilla." Imagine the difficulties AMD will face trying to move customers over to K7 and Slot A.>

Intel had problems because the Slot1 is
a very bad engineering solution for the
consumer market, mechanically at least.
Plus no logical advantages for performance.

As for AMD "difficulties", maybe they have
something more compelling in their sleeves
for SlotA? Performance, for example. Or
Alpha-like SMP scalability. Or super-fast
but very reliable clock-forwarding protocol?
Or just dedication to customers
and willngness to cooperate
instead of stealing their businesses?

<even if Intel shafted its customers (which
you have yet to prove with more than just
an isolated incident or two).>
This is a common knowledge, and noone
is obliged here to fill the blanks
in your education. Even Paul keeps
his mouth shut on these matters.
