Paul, Re: "With some luck, Unix/Linus/Sun Solaris will help drive the increase in Intel penetration of the server market." Maybe even Windows NT 5.0 will be there to help. I guess the second beta version is out, but Microsoft is saying it's not "the be-all, and end-all." Article over on Microsoft, sounds like Microsoft hater (have them too, in spades): www3.techstocks.com 5.0 will be a big deal if it addresses the scalability issue well, probably the number one target of Microsoft non-supporters, if it's not robustness itself. Better get off before the hardware hacker gets into more trouble. Tony

Paul,>>>With some luck, Unix/Linus/Sun Solaris will help drive the increase in Intel penetration of the server market. <<< Craig Barrett is not relying solely on luck and/or Merced to resume growth. There is pending announcement with Linux (Red Hat)next week. >>>Among Red Hat's potential corporate backers are Intel Corp. and Netscape Communications Corp. An announcement is expected as early as Tuesday, when Young is scheduled to appear with executives from both companies in San Jose, Calif. <<< In NY Times Article : nytimes.com It seems Linux has 14% of the Unix server market. Also, saw Barrett on CNBC discusing digital photography market and selling components into digital cameras - not to mention the market for all those hundreds of millions of 386/486's to upgrade to PII's to participate in email with digital photography capabilities. Looks like Barrett is just getting started to get growth going big time once again. Mary
