"A shock profits warning from Intel, the world's biggest maker of microchips, caused turmoil on financial markets around the world yesterday as investors feared an end to the long-term boom in the computer industry.
[...]
California-based Intel revealed that its revenue for the third quarter of the year would be up just 3% to 5%, well below forecasts of 9% to 12% growth.
[...]
Others blamed disappointment with Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 2000, which had been seen as a trigger for users to upgrade their systems."
Grr! This last paragraph annoys me. So when Microshaft release a new OS then the stockmarket rubs its hands with glee? So the stockmarket is "disappointed" I didn't waste more money for Windows 2000? So Microsoft drives hardware demands up so much for Intel that they are the stockmarket's friend? That sounds very neat doesn't it.
OOh I'm so angry I could crush a grape.
