Not in the Desktop/Office/Home market. In the server market, yes. In the
PDA market, yes.

True, but seeing as most people buying computers are clueless about what
makes them tick, I don't see any likely improvement. You'd have to beat
the technology and then beat Intel and Microsoft's advertising ability.
I don't see anyone likely to do that in the next 5-10 years.

Who
has the money and resources to beat the wintel boys in writing software,
increasing chip speed, and marketing?
Trying to beat cheap PC manufacturers on price isn't going to work
either.
