Charles ought to consider a career in romance novels...
Seriously, though, I think that the sentiments expressed are representative of many enthusiasts and AMD is rapidly losing (our) market share to C2D as a result.
The real danger I foresee, however, in regards to AMDs continued financial health is in the server market. The relative unavailability of socket F processors and motherboards coupled with the introduction of Woodcrest Xeons can't be all that great for their position.
One can only hope that the lower cost of AMD desktop processors will allow them some inroads into the OEM market to hold things up while they (hopefully) reconsider their options.
