GM,

Just to avoid getting sued here.

The reported reliability problems were definitely real.

However, I also believe they rectified them pretty quickly.

My concern -- again -- is a long term one. They've never developed or ramped processes very well. Usually this just kills their yield, and doesn't translate into reliability issues at end users. Either way, it's negative for profits.
