<I just don't see that level of fanaticism with Intel or AMD advocates. And even if there was, I just can't imagine Barrett or Sanders willing to (or being any good at) taking advantage of it like Steve Jobs can.> I agree with the first part and disagree with the second. Clearly Intel has exploited consumer ignorance with the Celeron/PII/PIII story. It is just a question of extent - some people are more skilled or more ruthless or more blatant at it. For good or bad, there are not too many saints out there in business.
