Chicken little says the sky is falling...lol...I'll direct attention to cae and point in Intel, and AMD's challenge to it...M$ jsut got caught napping with Vista, which is slow and clunky by XP standards...you can fully expect M$ to patch the heck out of Vista, and Window 7 will correct alot of these problems, just like how Intel smacked the crap outta AMD with core duo...and they are still beating the crap outta AMD.
