PB, re: Intel, Compaq, and the other boxmakers, I thought Intel was accused of trying to commoditize the box market. This is an effort to boost the volume of processors and chipsets, but at the expense of the boxmakers who already had a lot of R&D invested and didn't want to see their investment go to waste. I think Compaq had the most to lose from this, and BTO guys like Dell had the most to gain. I agree that Compaq's problems weren't caused by Intel, as Scumbria's comments may suggest. But I also don't believe that Compaq was necessarily "anti-Intel" as some here believe. That's like saying Intel's investments in Linux show that Intel is anti-Microsoft. Compaq is only doing what's best for Compaq, nothing more, nothing less, unlike companies like AMD who are hell-bent on causing as much damage to Intel as possible. Tenchusatsu
