...fanatically loyal users who will give up their Macs only when you pry their one-button mice from their cold, dead fingers. But Apple's annual revenues have dropped from $8 billion to less than $6 billion, and the company continues to lose market share to the Microsoft-Intel-dominated world. A little more than 4% of new PCs sold in the U.S. are Macs. (Don't ask about worldwide sales, where Apple has actually slipped to less than 3% of the market, from 5.2% five years ago.) With Microsoft's antitrust troubles tabled for now and a new operating...
...this is a two-front war, with a lot of skirmishing also at the lower end of the market. High-powered computing has traditionally relied on the costly, time-consuming R. and D. that makes Sun and IBM legendary. But continuing advances in microprocessor technology enable Intel to sell blazing-fast chips that, when run by Microsoft Windows, allow some manufacturers to sell very fast servers for as little as $2,500. That trend is broadening the market for servers, making them affordable to almost any firm that wants to sell on the Web or manage its inventory better. That...
DELL The world's No. 1 computer manufacturer and No. 1 Internet retailer is now also the leading producer, for the huge U.S. market, of Intel-based servers that sell for less than $100,000. According to research group IDC, 80% of all the servers now sold are based on Intel chips. Michael Dell is a loud advocate of this trend toward standardization. And he is counting on the server and storage business, estimating that within a few years, it, along with notebooks, will account for 70% of Dell's revenues. That server push has helped this year: the company...
...Kelly: Well narrowly put, it is the person who most affected events. But we tend to take a longer-range view of who should be the Person of the Year. So one year we chose an AIDS researcher; another year we chose Andy Grove, the head of Intel. And those two folks were not the biggest newsmakers of the year, but we thought their impact would be something people would talk about 10 or 20 years from...
...packed day in Silicon Valley, he revealed the Segway to officials from San Francisco International Airport, the California department of transportation, the city of Palo Alto, Stanford University and Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers. Especially gratifying to Kamen was the reaction of Andy Grove, the chairman of Intel and, unlike so many Silicon Valley boosters, a bone-deep skeptic. Perched tentatively on the machine, the 65-year-old Grove was rolling slowly along when Doerr ambled over and pushed him in the chest. When the Segway kept him from losing his balance, Grove emitted a distinctly un-Grove-like giggle...
