They're pretty ambitious and confident sounding...shooting for about 10% of the marketshare. Not only that, but he comments a lil bit on the state of the graphics market they are entering.

I not only hope the DeltaChrome sux, I hope it blows motherboards, people who deal with VIA deserve such an end.
