Yes. Intel does more propaganda in a real cruel way because now it happens to
sell more CPUs from AMD, and so it has many ways to do this. But I think this
works vice versa. If AMD was in the top of the market the same thing would
happened.

Yes in this you are right. My arguement doesn't work in the example of MS. :)

I know that , you know that... but...
Tell that to a newbie in the world of computers that wants to buy a PC for

that this user will NOT take acount of the big number of phenomenal speed in
the advertising pamphlet.

I can disagree in the main concept of the above though...
