Re: Yep, I bought my computer just to calculate pi and "Quantum Mechanical Hartree-Fock Orbitals I don't think you're a bad guy, but you happen to work for a really sleazy monopoly that has an extensive operation dedicated to falsifying the performance of its products, and blocking its competitors from gaining fair access to markets - remember the Asus motherboards shipped in unmarked boxes? Why are the tier ones still afraid to market an AMD based server? An example of Intel's extortion squads in action: Athlon is far superior to P4 for Access and Excel, so Intel had to subvert BAPCO into removing all but traces of those programs from the BAPCO "business productivity" test suite. Most tellingly, what was kept in BAPCO to represent Excel was column indexing, the one, relatively obscure, function in which P4 didn't do to badly. Unfortunately for Intel, they've been caught red-handed. It's not your fault, but it's the kind of operation Intel runs. They create a mediocre product, then use a combination of falsifying performance reports for it and extorting OEMs into denying customers the right to choose alternatives so that they can sell their mediocre chips at inflated prices.
