i really think his statement wasn't meant to be taken literally. even though amd's a64 wiped the floor with intel's p4 back then, intel sold more p4 than amd its a64 - because most large oems just offered pcs with intel's p4.... that's what the recent anti-trust case between amd and intel was about. and here is, imo, the point where this statement might fit: "imagine you're a casual pc user that has no clue about performance figures and the like and you go to a store or oem-website and everywhere you look there's always a huge p4-advertising catching your eyes. almost every pc features a p4, oem pcs with a64 are scarce articles. NOW what would you buy? under these circumstances 'i wouldn't buy amd either'".

i think you get the idea
