Dan, <the 16 to 32 bit transition is where Microsoft took out IBM in the software business.> Speaking of which, how long after Intel's 386 (the first x86 32-bit processor) introduction before Microsoft started using the 32-bit instructions? Even now, Windows 98 SE has some 16-bit legacy left. <It's not like AMD has a choice (Intel isn't going to license IA-64 to them)> That's what Kash told me, and from that point-of-view, it makes sense. Since it seems that no one else will be extending the x86 instruction set to 64-bit, AMD is going after the passed-up opportunity. Tenchusatsu
