Michael,<<<I would counter that you rarely have the right products unless somebody's been doing a good job of keeping in touch with the markets and making sure that the engineers are focusing on problems that customers care about.>>> It's not as if Intel is selling razors and razorblades. My guess is that the top 20 customers account for 80% of Intel mpu sales. The number of marketing people Intel needs is probably far less than most manufacturers in other markets. Intel most likely employ many more marketing people than AMD to cover the same number of customers, but sales per employee is most likely quite a bit higher. That is another area where volume is a tremendous advantage. That is my take based on very little actual knowledge in this area. You are the marketing person. What do you think? Mary
