No.

I'm merely observing the market, not making
any recommendations. There is a reality out
there that is bigger than any of our personal
opinions. An undeniable part of that reality
is that Intel's market share is still a lot
bigger than AMD's or Sun's.

As I said earlier, the only measure of success
is success.
