Paul, you well know that without OS (Win 95/98/NT) support KNI is DEAD IN THE WATER. Microsoft has a target date a year from now to support KNI (Intel's version of 3DNOW). They've just completed DirectX 6.0, next is DirectX 6.0 for Win98 (in a couple weeks), then for WinNT, then DirectX 6.5 (for all three OS's, no doubt) and then, finally, DirectX 7.0 which will support Intel's KNI. The priority for Microsoft is Windows NT 5.0. Everything else is less important! In fact, I bet they have no intention of writing DirectX 7.0 for Windows 98 or 95. Which means, anyone who wants to use KNI will have to upgrade to NT 5.0. When is the last time Microsoft promised something in one year ...and delivered it on time??????
