So basically, to translate those Intel benchmarks (real neutral source, by the way <gg>), a Pentium MMX 233 generally outperforms a Celeron 266 on Windows 95 benchmarks, but loses when the OS is Windows NT.

Do you think many Windows NT users are going to choose the Celeron?

That last benchmark really hurts. Most of the consumers use Windows 95. The Celeron is just absolutely a brilliant bone. BTW just keep an eye on the market, we'll discuss AMD's strategy on entrance to the CPU market. By year end, we should know whether Jerry's ego is a success or disaster.
