The rise and fall of the Wintel empire
What a fluff piece. Its way too generic without pointint out any specific issues with either company. If you replace each instance of Windows with Linsux and each instance of Intel with AMD you'd still have the same bogus article.

The worst part is that the little linsux fanboys are actually going to believe this because its not the truth but it is what they want to hear.

"You wake up one day and hear analysts and competitors saying that Linux will begin to creep onto desktops. At the same time, the Linux desktop may not happen for several years."

I been hearing this same thing for how many years now? It still hasn't proven to be true.
