You're angry at them? Part of the reason they're having the hard time they are is because Intel is playing predator, forcing computer manufacturers to use their chips. A smaller company like AMD just can't keep up when the financial power of a giant like that takes them on. AMD certainly made some mistakes and rushed things to market prematurely but what choice did they have?

Yet you constantly tout unregulated free markets and this is what comes of it. Monopolies have never serviced our citizens well.

I'll keep buying their products just on principle as long as they're available.
