Re: <<<This is complete idiocy.>>> I agree 100%. Can't understand why PC Mag would waste paper on this sort of nonsense. If Intel were to acquire Compaq, it would alienate most of its customer base and would amount to suicide. Intel DEPENDS on a competitive PC manufacturing industry in order to maximize CPU sales.

>>Dvorak as usual is generating controversy. I don't think for a minute that he believes a word of it. Actually, that's a slightly more plausible reason for this foolishness than my earlier speculation about the darkness surrounding Dvoraks's head owing to its current location. Only slightly, though. I seem to remember Dvorak floating this notion a couple of months ago. Looks like maybe he didn't get any bites so he's dangling the lure again. >>They would be competing with their own client base. They would demolish their business model I've been making arguments about cost/cash/relative size, which are ok as far as they go, but these are the telling points.
