Most businesses decide to do whatever will make them the most money, regardless of any "alliances" or "friendships" they may have.<br /> <br /> I believe they're the last vendor of their breed to not have diversified. It's not like adding AMD-based servers or desktops will hurt business; they'd only be opening up more doors to people who want AMD-based machines, who hate Intel, or depending on the chips used, have much sweeter price points.<br /> <br /> The link you posted is much better showing the wheels have began turning towards a "holy crap!" situation :)

AMD has a solid setup out there, much better than what Intel has been able to put out. this link makes it more of a its-coming-any-minute-now situation.
