True, they do need a 'motivated buyer' :)

- and I'll also admit we do not currently have infineon devices in
active production designs
(but we did use their C517 & CAN devices, some years ago, and have
short-listed their MOSFETs recently... )

That said, they must be doing something right, as I see infineon are
now #1 in Industrial :

[13 June 2008 MUNICH, Germany — According to a recent study from market 
researcher Semicast (Northampton, UK), Infineon for the first time ranks 
number one in the industrial sector, ahead of STMicroelectronics and 
Renesas Technology.]
