We are not in a communist country (ok, it's fairly communist but it could be worse) which means that we have a free market economy. If AMD will only let you run MS on all their chips (which I don't think is likely), then buy Intel. The whole reason that the x86 market has done so well, is because most components aren't controlled by a single vendor which promotes competition (unlike the Apple world where you have to buy a genuine Apple with their ROM chip to run their OS). If MS is successful in controlling the hardware in the x86 world, I say great! I think the general use of RISC chips is long overdue. The day that I cannot run Linux on my machine is not the day I switch to MS, it's the day I go out and buy a PPC board. The other thing is that law that the article was talking about would be a US law, so here in Canada you should still be able to play all the MP3s that you want. It will still be a "free" country as long as we have competition and a choice of operating systems and hardware platforms.
