Scumbria, Look at Pauls post, he said 'fare' and square. That means Intel paid a fee to MSFT, in cheap parts or whatever. Paul would never lie....ooops nose grows... Bill

SCUMbria - Re: "For all intents and purposes AMD had won the contract. All the marketing material was completed, and clearly displayed the AMD logo. Suddenly, at the last minute, Microsoft changed their mind. Don't tell me that this was properly conducted business deal. " When did Microsoft EVER announce that AMD was the "winner" for the X-BOX ? Since details weren't presented until last Friday, Microsoft apparently never concluded that AMD had won the contract. And as Yogi Berra once said - "It ain't over till it's over" - and it wasn't over until Intel won. I see you harbor a deep psychological impasse in accepting AMD's loss. Maybe you should really consider investing in Intel - which now appears to have quite a bit of potential of its own ! Paul
