Ever wonder why? Could they have bugs in their processors too? Doesn't this seem like the perfect time for the PowerPC folks to really turn up the heat? I cannot imagine why they would not... Could PowerPC have bugs? How about MIPS? Alpha maybe? Why do anything when Intel already put themseleves is in such deep shit? Kicking on Intel after this came out could mean bad publicity for themselves and wouldn't make the situation much worse for Intel. -- Mats Luthman, Sylog AB Solna Torg 3, Box 1466 171 28 Solna, SWEDEN phone: +46 8 730 00 15
