It all depends on whether IBM is interested in getting back in the game
which made them a household name or whether they want to continue to
deny that they are essentially dying and that it is just a matter of
time before they are forgotten entirely. Intel WILL get arrogant and
WILL make mistakes which WILL alienate customers. Those customers MIGHT
go to AMD and pay for less expensive processors (I know that's what *I*
did for a time) but they might also be ready for an entirely different
experience without GNU/Linux or Windows. It would just be nice to see
IBM try to take advantage of the arrogance to sell a new platform
(debatably a better platform) with an entirely different operating
environment. It's unlikely, but it's fairly exciting to consider.
