Hardly. About 50% of Intel's profits were coming from notebook chips the last time I looked, which was a while ago. It's fairly safe to assume that most of those notebooks, which may itself be a threatened species, run Windows. That's a scary number, but it's not 99%, and there are an awful lot of server, enterprise, and technical computers running x86 from Intel using some OS other than Windows.

More than half of the Intel-based servers are also running Windows,
followed by Linux. Besides the entire server market by volume wouldn't
even amount to 1% of their overall consumer business. They're talking
hundreds of thousands of servers per year, vs. hundreds of millions of
consumer PCs.

If you will take the time to read my post carefully, you will notice that I talked about Intel *profits*. Server chips are much more profitable (for the moment, at least) than consumer chips. If the consumer business goes away, that will leave Intel with an awful lot of amazing foundry capacity to find a use for, which is probably why Intel has made (limited) efforts to sell foundry services.

Why is quoted material being double-spaced from google? (was: willMIcrosoft's sinking drag down Intel ??)

In case Robert doesn't see it (and other google-gropers who have "show
quoted text" turned off), the above is what their posts now look like
for others who experience usenet using a REAL usenet client.

I have replaced the usual quoting character with the letter A so that
Robert can see an example of what his posts look like.

Fools that experience usenet through google-gropes and who regularly
post large amounts of quoted material are now double-spacing the quoted
material - whether they realize it or not.

This is par for the course for Google, who has incrementally been
breaking their usenet access for the past 5 years now.

This latest change (double-spacing quoted material) seems to have
started within the past few weeks.

Thost that are brain-dead enough to experience usenet through google
probably are not seeing this.

Well, "Intel guy," I'm glad that your manifest qualities do not reflect on a company I admire. The double spacing did show up in this dialog box, and I deleted it, since it bothers you so much.

I have a Usenet subscription that I am paying for but I am not using it.

a. I'm extremely busy and have rarely read or posted in the last year or so.
b. While I am not brain dead, I am getting older, and the plethora of passwords and the constant hassle of remembering and resetting them just isn't worth it for any service that I rarely use but that requires a password.
c. There is a newsreader/mail client problem for which, so far as I can tell, there is no currently available solution that is even remotely adapted to my diverse collection of computers and operating systems--other than Google.

If your hostility, aggression, and rudeness show up in other contexts, they are probably holding back your career. Seek help.

Another dumb thing - paying for access to text usenet groups.

year or so.

irrelevant.

There are free usenet servers. Have been for many years.

Again, too bad you know so little about usenet.

Point your usenet client to this server:

nntp.aioe.org

and subscribe to any number of thousands of available newsgroups.

No authentication required. No username or password. You can read and
post as you like. You can change your posting identity at will.

If your hostility, aggression, and rudeness show up in other
contexts, they are probably holding back your career.

Get a grip Robert. I'm only trying to help - and to improve on the
dammage that google-groups does by encouraging people to make ugly posts
by defaulting to full-quoting and (now) double-spacing.

Don't forget non-existent line wrapping. What a mess the latest GG posting
server is...

You'd make a great salesman. Get a spell checker and pay attention to it.

If you have a problem with Google, write a letter to Google. Leave me alone. I've dealt with bullies in plenty of other contexts, and I can certainly deal with them here.
