Vista - A DX-10 question

I agree, as I've stated before. Intel needs AMD, ATI needs Nvidia, Microsoft
needs Linux\MAcs, Ford\Chevy needs Toyota\Honda, Wal mart needs K-mart.

If AMD\ATI disappear, I would not be a happy camper. If no one is pushing
the other, then their is little need for Price reductions and innovation.
