In AMD's case, the analysts don't believe the Opteron meets any of the criteria for new processor adoption--application vendor enthusiasm, server vendor commitment, server vendor enthusiasm, or and customer enthusiasm. Even with OS support from Windows and Linux, unless there's a change in those critical aspects of Opteron's ecosystem, I am standing by my previous assessment: that when it comes to enterprise computing, Opteron is going to be a dud.

Opteron being called a "dud". Kind of ironic.... eh?
