True. Its interesting how Sun constantly gets back stabbed by companies - I think Sun needs to learn a little mongrel; double cross Sun and realise that there is a whole new level of pain to be discovered. > Shame about AMD, they have that whole underdog thing going for them > (Pepsi, Red Sox etc) and so many people are just looking for a reason > to like them, unfortunately they just seem to do so many things > wrong... I would have gone AMD but due to their arrogance in refusing to supply drivers for Solaris, refusing to work with wireless and network chipset vendors such as Realtek who are willing to give out specifications, I am forced in a situation where the only viable product is Intel + Nvidia. The problem with AMD is that they assume those of us who are angry are nothing; need they be reminded that those of us also give advice to friends and family; if each of use can influence 10 sales, one could imagine when extrapolated on a large scale.
