Re: Have you read these two infoworld stories? Infoworld is pretty big on strong opinions from all sides. They'll send this out, but they'll probably send out some equally strong pro Athlon stuff. I've always liked them for their outspoken OS commentary. The timing is a bit blatant though, maybe the "affiliate editor" and "editor at large" (is that some guy who freelances?) have stock positions they're trying to salvage. Infoworld used to be good about insisting that their columnists always reveal that sort of thing. How do you find all this stuff so fast? (I used to think I was good at keeping up with the news) Whatever the word is on Monday, I think it will overwhelm this piddly stuff, one way or the other. Dan

survivin, <Have you read these two infoworld stories?> <These two stories can be interpreted to greatly favor intc with very little effort. But, I'm sure a quality organization would never stoop to such a level.> I read them from your post and do not find them much of a factor for AMD (or INTC for that matter). The first one about lawsuits, I think is just triggered by today's filings. Regarding the second one, offhand, I do not share your perspective on this favoring INTC. May be you can elaborate why you felt that way. From what I can tell, the only company the article favors is NEC. NEC looks set to improve its already healthy market share. Chuck
