So you agree that Dell gets special "insentives" from Intel for not using AMD. I mean you would agree if you were intellectually honest.

I don't agree with that at all. Dell's special formula is their direct model. No channels, no inventory, no nothing. Even the fact that they are all Intel is secondary to that, but they'd have to be pretty stupid to change anything now. When you're on top and gaining, you do status quo. As for any special Dell/Intel incentives, I have never seen any proof of that, have you?

Dell absolutely does get incentives for using Intel parts. Reliability is the big one and a stable supply of parts is another plus.
