<Talk about September launch and tell people that they are delaying it because customer want it to be delayed? Intel is not accustomed to being second and you can tell by the pathetic stories that they are coming up with nowadays.> I don't know what's going on for real, but let's assume for the moment that what Intel said is the truth. Obviously there will be some OEM's who feel like they just got shafted because they were better able to handle several separate product transitions instead of the single splash that the other OEM's wanted. These OEM's will no doubt be the ones running to the press and spreading the rumors that Intel is covering up their own mistakes. And of course they would be speaking anonymously. In any case, if Intel is guilty of making up "pathetic stories," then it's pretty notable that some AMD supporters are pointing out the speck in Intel's eye while ignoring the plank in AMD's eye. For AMD, it's business as usual, but for Intel, it's front-page headlines. <In case you haven't noticed, even the PIII-600 story is somewhat similar.> No, I haven't noticed. I just ordered one myself for a NT workstation that I'll be building for a friend. It should be arriving next week. Too bad people building custom Athlon-based workstations may have to wait at least another month before processors and motherboards are available, and even longer if they care about stability.
