Motorola's record on actually delivering parts to everyone who
wants them is pretty poor. Ask any 68HC11 user how many times they've
been told a particular part is on allocation.

Microchip's success has more to do with savvy marketing, a willingness
to deal with customers of any size, and the ability to actually deliver
parts most of the time than with price. Don't write them off just yet.
