Very good point.
I suppose it's natural to cheer on the technology leader - and Intel is and has been a serious company who has invested a lot to move fab technology forward.
The efforts to build a consumer brand started by Andy Grove have probably also helped quite a bit.
Nevertheless, its striking how little focus there has been on Intel's market share and the lack of real competition on the desktop and server. Good that that's changing.
