<From CNBC, GTW said, (I am paraphrasing) "We will not let action of others decide our offerings." Hmm, what does that mean? Anyone else was listening?> I heard that, too. I guess Intel upselling the customers to higher speed bins to help make its own quarter would qualify as "action of others" ;-)

Anyone else was listening? >Mani My take is that Intel threatened to make them a lower-priority customer if Gateway began offering AMD Athlon systems. I could be wrong, but I can't think of anything else to which he might be referring. Obviously, the "action" must be something that could affect GTW in a substantial way. What other outside company could have such an impact on GTW? I can only think of Intel.

Mani, re:"We will not let action of others decide our offerings." Hmm, what does that mean? Anyone else was listening? I did. They are clearly mad at their current supplier - whoever that is ;-) There is going to be more coverage on this on CNBC. Goutama
