Harry, re: Intel brand vs. box maker brand, "Could the best analogy be the gas you use in your car. Do you think you have a better Buick because you use Exxon Gasoline?" I think of gas and the car as separate products, rather than a product and a component of the product. A better analogy would be the auto engine, if you could order engines from different manufaturers for your Buick. I just think that eventually, the box makers (finished goods) will win the brand loyalty of the consumer. It is not true now, I think that we will get down to 3 or 4 majors with 85% share before that happens. They also need to deferentiate their products, something they have been totally unable to do at this point. John BTW, I love that definition of Brand.
