Amy - Re: "And in Intel's case, it is even more important to announce during the early part of a launch in order to prepare the channel when faced with potential confusion due to a very clear and loud Super-Salester. Like I've said many times, AMD has excellent Sales. If it takes an entire Intel Marketing department and an aggressive product launch to combat an impressive Super-Salester, then do it. Do investors want the confused channel to instead line up behind potentially the world's best Salester? Or, do people want Intel to clear up this confusion with a product announcement? " Exactly ! Intel has simply chosen to play the game the same way AMD has played - instead of handicapping itself. Re: 'Unrelated, who is on the hot seat for driving Itanium sales and having an aggressive Sales strategy? Itanium is going to need a SUPER SALES STAR, which they may already have - I don't know since Intel's Marketing hasn't given him/her any visibility if there is such a person already in place (Have you seen any articles on this- I haven't). " Ron Curry has been the Marketing Manger mentioned in many of the Merced/ITanium articles from the news media. Paul
