Paul, >>>The PIII is probably blowing out sales beyond anything expected.<<< How about Xeon? Do you think any of the PC analysts have an understanding of this market? There is a real chance according to my own intuitive SWAG that Xeon chips will generate more revenue for Intel in 1999 than AMD will generate across all their product lines. Regards, Mary

In re: FTC, is yours the thread consensus? I've been looking at the consent decree (http://www.ftc.gov/os/1999/9903/d09288intelagreement.htm), and it doesn't look like they backed down to me. Intel appears to have two (2) concessions from the feds: they can still withhold when threatened with injunctive relief against shipping (and only then), and they didn't have to pay a fine. What am I missing? [OT: Win98]: the only people I know with 98 got it preinstalled on a new PC. Small sample size, sure, but indicative. On topic, none of my bleeding-edge geek pals has purchased a PIII yet; some think it's overpriced, some are waiting for higher clock speeds and the inevitable price drop.
