Once Lucent joins the anti Wintel effort watch out You know I feel really sorry for Intel investors, to the extent I can ever feel sorry for such an arrogant bunch of ...'s. Next year you guys are going to begin to feel what I call the Borland effect. The Borland effect is the commoditization of the CPU. As in just another part in the system. Perhaps you read the article about weekly meetings of IBM, SUNW, ORACLE, NOVL, etc. etc. HAving put all of your eggs in the monopoly basket you guys are about become a real basket case. I even expect someone to come up with a new PC based OS. Something that runs JAVA based apps better than MSFT. Then WIntel is history. Too bad for all for you, living on past glories and expecting that your stock will just go up and up and up. ====================== Getting screwed is just what most Intel investors on this thread deserve.

Gregory, Thanks for the excellent posting. I happened to be at Bell labs, when they were experimenting with optical computers and introduced a UNIX based PC. They have failed to cash in on both ideas/inventions. With Lucent's hunger for markets things may be different. It is a long way from research to commercialization. Some examples, Bell Labs invented the transistor, but Sony cashed in. Bell labs developed UNIX, but SUN Microsystems cashed in. Xerox developed GUI(Graphical Interface), but Apple & Microsoft cashed in. SUN developed JAVA, guess who's going to cash in?
