"is not a company defining product in the way that Opteron is for AMD" I am afraid you are not going to like the definition. Opteron is not selling very well. Opteron might sell better at lower prices, but it is more expensive to make than AMD's other products. Xeon continues to sell in the BILLIONS and continues to pave the way for Itanium, your polemic eloquence aside. And speaking of definitions, did you know that Apache gets its name from the many "patch" files that were added to the original body of code which is yet another ripoff of unix. First released in 1995, I am not sure why you refer to it as "Redhat" Apache, unless it distinguishes a particular rip-off of a rip-off?

<<< But from my point of view Centrino, while a good product, is not a company defining product in the way that Opteron is for AMD. >>> While the Centrino has clearly done well for Intel the jury is still very much out for the Opteron. It may be the "company defining product" by default because there is not much else. <<< Centrino is mostly a marketing success. >>> Do you really believe that? I think the Centrino is a great product backed by great marketing. A great product needs great marketing to be successful or else we would all be using Alphas in our desktops today. Surely you did not expect Intel to simply design the product and drop the ball on marketing. - rajiv
