Why is it, that AMD and Intel are both supporting this, hah YET, the only benchmarks I have seen are run on Linux?
They're supporting it, cause Intel has some money comming from Microsoft. AMD is in it, cause they know if they don't have their chip supporting it, the next version of windows wont run. Monopoly? Hello? Has anyone seen any 64bit Windows in the news as often as you have heard 64bit and Linux in the same phrase... I doubt it. Linux has to run, or they're biting the hand that feeds it. What is SGI to do? Guess Itanium won't work now, with your cluster running Linux... I think it is also funny, that they can enforce digital rights management, for media and the like, LOL, you can discise a process to do manipulate data in, almost, infinate ways. How can you govern that? Binary information hits the cpu, the cpu will detect a patern of this binary input? This, is, so, hacked. I'm not a hardware hacker, yet. I don't fear this. I am laughing at Palladium, Bring it on! This will go right against the hackers manifesto, and will be picked apart, faster than the X-box. I hope there's a glitch in it too, ahaha, making more blue screens. I'm still warning people, not to buy anything with "palladium" On Fri, 20 Sep 2002 17:11:46 -0600 S�bastien Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Like most things from microsoft, this was probably some idiot in > marketing who thought: "Hmmm, well, hardware is stronger than software > right?
