I got some great feedback:

If you want to start the ball of discussion rolling,
you need to kick the ball around and not just toss it out there.
For example on your blog on the AMD/ATI merger FUD, it is too generalized. You need to add more of your own opinions on what kind of risks AMD has not forseen.
Maybe Hector Ruiz will suffer a nervous breakdown or fist fights broke out in meetings?
So I'm going back to the posts to make sure I'm driving my POV home...and picking a side.

That's what me and Sharikou have done, and look what we get on a daily basis (criticism and insults), you sure you want to do that too?
Sticks and stones may break my bones...but idiots will never hurt me.
As you mention, hopefully some good discussion will come out of it.
Seems like the author of THIS blog anyways, picks his/her point of view a little more rationally compared to Sharikou.
Sharikou is on a crusade to destroy Intel. I don't think the writer of this blog has any such intention and is probably a lot more credible.
So by all means, take a POV and defend it, dear author. But make sure to seperate business practices from product offerings so that you don't look like a fool!
I guess one of risks of the merger has materialized when ATI announced a shortfall in revenues because of lower sales for Intel platforms.
Intel didn't waste any time to try to put the hurt on AMD-ATI.
According to
this piece , Intel is pressuring Taiwanese MB makers to stop using ATI for Conroe MBs.
Why would motherboard companies scrap all the time and efforts they spent on the Conroe-ATI technology? The answer is simple, IMO, they still have Intel-phobia and Intel can even use the shortage of cpus as a weapon to coerce them to dump ATI.
Anonymous - I agree. And you can see my new post on this issue just out. Intel phobia does exist but it's acts like this - pressure tactics on their own partners that make people want to kick them when they're down. I also think Intel had their head in a place the sun don't shine if they did not have a contingency for ATI since the news of the merger has been floating around for some time.
I completely understand not wanting to put money into your competitors wallet but hurting your partners is not a good long term strategy that will come back to bite them in the ass.
