So this would seem to be good news for AMD staying in the game....
Why market share is so important for AMD
*********************EXCERPT********************
As it turned out, Dell never intended to announce this at all. Evidently, in the calm after the Yahoo/Microsoft storm, a reporter noticed that AMD had dropped off the choice list for Dell’s on-line ordering site. The result was that Dell chose to announce this move to make sure that the message stayed in control and avoid interpretations that Dell is abandoning AMD altogether, which isn’t accurate. You can view this announcement as a favor to AMD, providing damage control.
No doubt optimized for that POS OS Vista.
