Oh please. You just proved the point! They beat Intel in retail sales. That means Joe Consumer who is putting together/upgrading his box is now choosing AMD over Intel. That means that the marketing AMD is using is WORKING. And we all know that whatever a person uses at home is what they talk about at work (or indeed, what they use at work. Its the geeks who build/upgrade their own systems, and its the geeks who purchase/lobby at work). SO, the Dell's of the world are going to have to reexamine their exclusivity contracts..
