Question: When was the last time Intel had to deviate from it's long term roadmap due to a change in market conditions? I don't know, but why do you care. As long as Intel's management can flexibly adapt to this very unpredictable and illusive consumer market, it is good enough. Not too many companies have that type of capability or know-how in their marketing groups. Time Traveler

Re -- When was the last time Intel had to deviate from it's long term roadmap. Intel is constantly deviating from its roadmap (witness the delay in Merced, and the pulling in of schedule on katmai and .18u). They also did a major deviation in the move from memory to MPU's. However the "internet" arrival requires Intel to adapt more rapidly to changing market conditions. The segmentation strategy is part of this adaptation (in more ways than you can comprehend). This wont be the last time, Intel will have switched long term strategies. The low end does not mean sub-1000. It means sub-300 settop PC's. Stockman
