Intel is trying to catch up with chip demand by expanding production. "We have five factories going full blast. Demand has far exceeded expectations," Otellini said. "By the second half (of the year), we are going to have six factories." What OS and applications are used with those computers? There lies the answer as to why one should buy MSFT here for the long haul.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Dell Computer Corp. <DELL.O> Chief Executive Michael Dell said on Tuesday that he expected adoption of Microsoft Corp.'s <MSFT.O> Windows 2000 software to be "strong," distancing himself from an industry report suggesting slow uptake. After delivering the keynote speech of a three-day official launch event for Windows 2000, Dell said previous comments on the subject may have been misinterpreted. Microsoft stock dropped more than 5 percent last Friday, its weakness linked to Gartner Group's report on the operating system, as well to Dell's comments. "I believe the adoption rate will be strong," Dell told a news briefing after his address. "The adoption rate of Windows 2000 will not be determined by my speeches, it will be determined by customer acceptance of the product, itself." "We see a lot of interest in Windows 2000, and our Dell technical consulting practice has seen a lot of demand," Dell said. He declined to give exact figures of sales or forecasts of how quickly the operating system would be adopted, saying, "How fast it happens I don't really have any idea."
