Michael - Re: "Intel could have done what most large successful corporations have done and abandoned it's lower margin, difficult to please customers base. However, and this is where the brilliance of Intel management plays in, by meeting the needs of the difficult to please customers in the low end and challenging their systems. Intel was forced to stress their systems of manufacture, quality, and delivery to the point of almost guaranteeing they will exceed their other higher margin, less difficult customer base.

The challenge of finding a solution with regard to the Celeron, was a gift to Intel and it's shareholders. It has kept Intel management on their toes, continuously looking for way's to improve their systems of manufacturing and management. The culture of Andrew Grove's "only the paranoid survive" still appears deeply rooted within Intel.

All too often successful companies take the easy way out. Intel never content on where they are today, does not.
"

This is a superb assessment of the situation.

Intel stood their ground and is now recovering lost market share.

They are stronger than ever.

And getting stronger.
