In their captive business accounts, yeah, but not in open retail where customers tend to do some investigation first.The Prescott Celeron is actually not that bad, probably within 5-10% of a similarly rated XP which is a big step up from the poor Northwood Celeron. The new 1.8/2.0 Paris models though will give the 1Mb Prescotts a hard time nevermind the Celerons ! Prescott Celeron might impinge on XP a bit but imo will ultimately take sales only off its bigger brother in the long run. Those who want best bang for buck, AMD's rock, will still go for XP or Paris. Still it's a big improvement for those forced to use Celerons. :-)
