From a company that has lost money, what, the last eight quarters straight and whose debt is junk
status? I am sure those who have watched the trials and tribulations of Alpha users as their platform

for the insurance money will think long and hard before betting their company on Opteron based

for non-business critical, high platform turnover uses where going flavor of the month to save a
buck is ok.
