You, twister, maintain that this was historically inevitable, that it HAD to happen this way because Intel is Intel and MSFT is MSFT. The Twister Dialectic! LOL! Now we know who the Marxist-Leninist is !!!<G><<

no, it was inevitable because of the business and financial models of the players. it's all scale economics. suncom was trying to make the same thing as intel was making and they just don't have the resources to compete. it's very obivous very simple which is the only way i could figure it out. intel can amortize the cost of developing and manufacturing new chips over gazzillions more units than suncom, thus lowering its costs. you can see how this is self perpetuating. now, rerun this movie for operating system software. iow, as long as scottie stayed defiant, it couldn't have turned out any other way.
