Pravin, re: <This has just got to bring a smile to your face.> I find it humorous, but as an investor, I'm not smiling. This look's more and more like a major screw-up. I see there are already PIII's on some dealers shelves. Intel claims they've already shipped many PIII's to customers. Intel cancels Superbowl ad's four days before the game. The reason given is there's too long a time between the game and product availability. This don't play in Peoria. So what's changed that could cause this decision? Either there's been a change in product availability due to manufacturing issues, (which doesn't make sense, since they're already shipping), or there's been a change in availability due to "ID" issues. Or maybe the OEM's don't want to ship product with the current version of the chip? Another possibility may be that the Ad content threw gas on the "ID" fire, and the availability story is a cover-up for pulling the ad's. Or suppose they've decided they need to eliminate the "ID" feature completely? What impact does that have on availability? (There's been a lot of controversy as to the latent effects of having the feature embedded in the chip). Just my opinions, of course.
