To All, Pentium III looks like a dud for corporate sales. ZD Net reports that corporations are yawning at the PIII. Some quotes: "the only nice thing about PIII is that the price of PIIs may drop faster." "You only need this additional capability if you are playing games." Wait a second, that one sounded like me. But it wasn't. <G> "Even some pc makers are underwhelmed by PIII. 'We're treating this as a speed bump,' an official at Dell said."

Looks to me like the PIII will appeal to games players and that's about all. And for consumers who have to have the new thing no matter how useless it is. For corporations, it looks like a dud. And this is Intel's future. <G>
