Your opinion on this matter is well documented, I'm just saying that anecdotally, I'm not seeing it. While an accurate focus group with statistical analysis would be necessary to really understand the impact of these matters (i.e. AMD lawsuit, EU decision), I say that if each person on this board polled two people (one being a non-tech consumer, the other being a business manager type with > 10K signing privileges), the results would show that the Intel brand remains untarnished.
Note: 'Likable' and 'cool' are not the same as having a highly valued brand. I don't view Caterpillar or UPS as particularly likable or cool, but I know where to turn when I need a backhoe or I need to ship my backhoe, well maybe not. :)
