I must admit, as I read it, that a number of the examples made things fall into place, from small specifics like whispers I'd heard about large OEMs pulling out of AMD product launches at the last minute to larger issues, like the bizarre and persistent incongruity between AMD's apparently strong competence at strategic planning, design, engineering, and manufacturing amazingly complex microprocessors on the one hand and AMD's seeming ineptitude at sales and marketing on the other.

If even a portion of what AMD alleges in the complaint is true, it explains a lot. They really had little chance to push their market share higher in certain sectors.
